As more travelers tap into their sense of adventure and seek out destinations beyond the usual hotspots, one such place may have fallen off some vacationers' radars — at least for now.
The U.S. Embassy issued a security alert this week for one of Latin America's more under-the-radar destinations, a country often associated with strict government control and political tensions. The warning comes after comedian Ari Shaffir claimed he was denied entry, drawing attention to an increasingly complex landscape for tourists.
But the latest notice has nothing to do with celebrity jaunts and everything to do with the nation's upcoming July 19 holiday, when officials expect people could flood the streets amid large gatherings and potential protests.
Should You Visit Nicaragua This Summer?

Nicaragua is a name we all know, but may feel they'll never check it off our wishlist.
Not exactly laying out the welcome mat to outsiders with its existing "Level 3: Reconsider Travel" advisory, the latest Embassy-backed alert isn't doing this off-path country any favors.
Nicaragua's Liberation Day is July 19, a time when locals aren't flocking to the very paradise beaches travelers dream of visiting; instead, mass demonstrations are expected in the capital city of Managua, home to the country's main airport.
The same is expected for August 1 - August 10, for the celebration of Santo Domingo.
The good news is most visitors venture off elsewhere to the colonial townscape of Granada or hit the coast to the resort town of San Juan del Sur, which are not listed in the latest alert.
While gatherings are expected to 'remain peaceful' as the Embassy's official statement put it, the real draw to Nicaragua is what's yet to be discovered by mainstream tourism: its tropical Caribbean islands (yes, plural!).

Not to sound corny, but these two Caribbean hideaways offer very different versions of island life.
Big Corn Island, the larger of the Corn Islands, offers a more developed getaway offering the majority of the region's restaurants, hotels, and transportation, while still delivering the crystal-clear waters and colorful coastal scenery travelers crave.
Little Corn, on the other hand, is the smaller sibling that feels like a true escape from modern life. With no cars allowed, visitors explore the island by foot along sandy paths, spending sunny days snorkeling, diving, and relaxing on secluded beaches away from whatever chaos is expected to ensue on the mainland.
In fact, Little Corn Island and Mango Beach are ranked as some of the best beaches in the world this year by Corona.
If only more people knew they existed.
