How should I pack for my trip to Nicaragua?

*Try to only travel with a bag that you are able to carry on your lap if need be. (45 liter bags should be the max, 60 liters is just too big!) Some chicken buses and mini buses will have storage in the back or top racks but not all of them. If you have to travel with multiple bags, make sure you put all your valuable in a smaller bag that is attached to you at all times. 

*Don’t let your luggage out of your sight, especially if it contains valuables. This includes putting your luggage in the top racks above your head where you can’t see it at all times. It’s best to put your luggage above the seat in front of you so you can always see it. The buses tend to fill up with many people having to stand in the aisle and hold onto the bars. It’s very easy for them to reach into bags that are open or not being watched.
