Enjoy a Break in San Rafael del Norte
For some tourists, there is nothing more rewarding than visiting a village or settlement that has not been influenced by modernization or the typical tourist souvenir industry. Finding a place to mingle with the locals and being able to get a true feeling for a country is a rare opportunity, but in Nicaragua there is one village where tourists will find all this and more – San Rafael del Norte. It does not boast a captivating nightlife or state of the art museums, only the monuments that are dear to them and a lifestyle that has served them well for centuries.
Dennis Martinez National Stadium
The Dennis Martinez National Stadium has seen political struggle, fought against natural disasters and has united a nation in overwhelming victory at baseball games, football games, concerts and events. It was not always known as the Dennis Martinez National Stadium, but it has always brought people together, to forget about their daily struggles and loose themselves in their favorite sport for an hour or two. Today, its name stands as a reminder of one of the greatest baseball players in the history of Nicaragua.
Building New Hope at Café Chavalos
Starting from humble beginnings, Café Chavalos has grown to be a major attraction in Granada, Nicaragua, drawing crowds of local people and swarms of tourists to enjoy what has been referred to as “the best tasting cuisine in town”. Café Chavalos is a project of the volunteer driven, non-profit organization known as Building New Hope, which is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Granada, Nicaragua.
A Wildlife Adventure at Refugio Bartola
Refugio Bartola is a nature reserve in Nicaragua that is positively brimming with wildlife. It is situated at the confluence of the Rio San Juan and its tributary, the Rio Bartola, about halfway along the 190 kilometer river’s journey from Lake Nicaragua to the Caribbean Sea. Numerous trips and tours are on offer for nature-loving tourists who want to get a close look at the amazing flora and fauna in this beautiful area.
Tour the Coffee Museum in Matagalpa
Nicaragua is a major producer of coffee, which is exported throughout North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. As a vital contributor to the Nicaraguan economy, it seems fitting that there should be a museum devoted to all aspects of this popular beverage. The Coffee Museum, situated close to the central park of the city of Matagalpa, is a popular tourist attraction for visitors to Nicaragua’s main coffee growing area.
