Highlights Along The Route

Point of Interest

Diriamba is considered the birthplace of coffee production in Nicaragua; it was already a bustling settlement when the Spanish arrived. Today, it has a pleasant central plaza and interesting European-style architecture that dates back to the coffee boom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries

Point of Interest

San Marcos is known for a few things: it sits on the site of what’s thought to be the oldest human settlement in Nicaragua, and it's the hometown of Anastasio Somoza García, the nation's original dictator. Today, it has a pronounced and festive student presence thanks to Keiser University – Latin American Campus. Previously known as Ave Maria University, the school was taken over as a branch campus of Florida's Keiser University in 2013. Today, it's the only US university in Central America that offers four-year degrees in fields such as biology, international relations, and politics. San Marcos’ fiestas patronales (April 24 to 25) are some of the most impressive in the country. Read more: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/nicaragua/san-marcos/introduction#ixzz4CrhSRj3h

Point of Interest

Only 3km north of Masaya, the much more adorable town of Nindirí may have been even more important than Monimbó during the Chorotega era – at least if you're judging by the wealth of archaeological treasures that have been found here. Pre-Columbian artifacts, from urns to masks, tell the story of an ancient indigenous culture that once lived here: check them out at the tiny Museo Arqueológico Tendirí. If the museum is closed, check out the 1529 Catholic church, which has been left in adobe simplicity by subsequent renovations. It’s home to Cristo del Volcán, credited with stopping a lava flow from destroying the town during the 1772 eruption that opened the Santiago crater.
