Scams to watch for in Nicaragua

- Shared-taxi robberyAn accomplice joins shortly after pickup. The driver and passenger then take the visitor around town, steal their belongings and leave them far from their destination. Similar robberies can involve regular passengers known to the driver.
- Theft through an open taxi windowA thief reaches through an open window and takes a passenger's belongings while the taxi is stopped.
