NICARAGUA
 Nicaragua has a broad and multifaceted
both historical and cultural wealth. If you're planning to visit Central America or if you are someone who enjoy cultural tourism, this is a destination it has always taken into account. But before preparing the bags, I invite you to meet some of the most interesting aspects of the various traditions and customs of Nicaragua.
 To begin I will mention an old concerning
the Holy Week that today has completely disappeared Nicaraguan tradition. For dates of Easter in Nicaragua used to be taken to heart this celebration and commitment was such that no one could leave the house, he could not eat meat and I could not make much noise because it was an insult to the Lord, in addition to It was very common for people to eat cheese soup, a tradition that was lost over the years.
 Country traditions of Nicaragua
One of the traditions practiced in the country of Nicaragua every year are the Festivities of Managua. The beginning of this traditional festival was the late 19th century where the city of Managua at midnight there was a discovery of a small Catholic statue of Santo Domingo. This discovery formed the beginning of what we nowadays call them the festivity of the capital form a traditional full of many colors and festive joy. This tradition is celebrated today the first days of August. Every year during the holidays the main streets of the city of Managua is filled with people celebrating the party also called Minguito a loving way to the Holy St. Dominic. Nicaraguans see this day as a very important day full of festivities and the time to go outside and look around with the other people of Nicaragua. This tradition is very similar to my family celebrated in Mexico, we celebrate the holy Feast of Saints Peter and Paul the last weekend of June he also celebrated with lots of color, music (bands, dj, etc.) much food as tamales , pozole, menudo, etc. And we also do the reign of Queen of the Festival Feast of Saints Peter and Paul in Tubutama, Sonora every year in the month of June.
UNITED STATES  America is a country built by people from all over the world. They have
made this great country in the first world power. All these cultures have been intermingled and adapted throughout history but the citizens have not given up his true origins and roots and, therefore, have imported their traditions, customs and habits, thereby creating the "typically American" style. When the American people are talking tend to leave some distance between them and do not like physical contact when they are talking, they created some discomfort. Touching involves too much intimacy in the case of known or casual relationships. Almost they never greet each other with kisses, a handshake when greeting or saying goodbye is enough.
 It is customary to tip waiters, taxi drivers,
hairdressers, buttons, parking, etc. In bars and restaurants, not be included in the bill, is mandatory and it is estimated between 10% and 15% of the amount you check the bill. These tips are an important part of their income.
MEXICO
 The culture in Mexico is very rich, it mixes elements from
different periods, from prehistoric aspects of the colonial period to modern. The cultural wealth is, moreover, nourished thanks to around 52 indigenous peoples, successors of the pre-Hispanic societies, who speak different languages, of which Nahuatl is the one with a larger number of speakers and whose population is concentrated in the Federal district, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Morelos, San Luis Potosi, Mexico State, Puebla and Veracruz. 17.1 of the total indigenous population lives in major cities: Monterrey, Cancun and Guadalajara.
 Among the most important and ancient cultural
aspects is painting, and in prehispanic Mexico was present in buildings and codices, and during colonization in convents. In the twentieth century it became world renowned artists expressing their social criticism works as the muralists David Alfaro Siqueiros, Jose Clemente Orozco and Diego Rivera. Beside Rivera, but with artistic independence, it is Frida Kahlo, whose work is full of feeling and pain, itself being the central theme of his paintings. Other featured artists are Jose Luis Cuevas, Rufino Tamayo and Francisco Toledo.
 The architecture has also played an important role in history.
Mesoamerican civilizations had a great stylistic development and urbanism had big push, as an example are the cities of Teotihuacan and Mexico-Tenochtitlan. With the arrival of the Spaniards new styles, such as baroque and mannerism, in cathedrals and buildings they were introduced; Later neoclassicism introduced. One of the most representative buildings of modernization is the Palace of Fine Arts, which includes the Art Nouveau and Art Deco. In modern architecture, we can mention Juan O'Gorman and Luis Barragan, whose work combined religious mysticism and rescue national roots, integrating in his nature.
 Among the most typical regional and
national festivities are the religious, some retain certain popular traditions that can even be considered as pagan. One of the most important is the December 12, Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe, who according to belief appeared to Juan Diego in 1531, on Tepeyac Hill, his image is now venerated in the Basilica of Guadalupe, in northern Mexico City.
 Another festival is the Day of the Dead,
which takes place on November 2, preHispanic, coincides with the Catholic celebrations of All Souls Day and All Saints. The celebration of the Cry of Independence, which is held every September 15 in public places all over the country, dancing, music, fireworks and multicolored lights give a festive character that put it among the most outstanding.
 Among others, is also the January 6, Three Kings Day, or
February 2, Candlemas Day, the tradition is that the person who touched the doll in the game thread Epiphany becomes Godfather of the Child Jesus and take them tamales others. Christmas, with its inns, carols, births, poinsettias and piĂąatas, is also one of the most important traditions among the Mexican population. These are some of the festivals and traditions more pronounced in the country, of which you can enjoy with the locals during your stay. To share and enjoy the festivals and customs, you will understand why Mexico is a place of great cultural richness and warmth.
