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.
Make Some Time to Visit Subtiava
Largely occupied by Subtiava Indians, the barrio of Subtiava is situated about four kilometers west of León’s city center in Nicaragua. Although it is now a suburb, Subtiava long predates León and existed as an independent community for centuries before being incorporated into the city in 1902. Subtiavia is home to one of the oldest churches in Nicaragua. The recently renovated 300 year old Subtiava Indian Church is open to visitors and offers interesting insight into the history of the area.
Awesome Sounds of DJ Craze
Aristh Delgado, better known as DJ Craze, was born in Managua, Nicaragua, on 19 November 1977. During the merciless war that engulfed Nicaragua in the 1980’s, the Delgado family fled their homeland and moved to San Francisco in California. Not long after they arrived in California, the family decided to move to the city of Miami in Florida, where they still live today. As a young child, DJ Craze was told that he could be whatever he chose if he put his mind to it. So he put his fingers to his turntables, and jumped onto the road that would lead him to stardom.
Tour the Flor de Cana Rum Factory
Just outside the city of Leon lies Chichigalpha. Located at the foot of the San Cristobal Volcano, Nicaragua, it has not become famous for the beauty and fascination of the mountain, but for its rum. Interestingly, the Ingenio San Antonia sugar factory not only produces sugar in the region, but uses the cane sugar to generate electricity. And even though the sugar factory is a large industry in Chichigalpa, it is the attraction of the rum factory, Flor de Cana, that steals the show.
