The Highlands of Nicaragua
The Highlands of Nicaragua—a captivating region encompassing Matagalpa, Estelí, and Somoto Canyon—is the country's heartland for coffee, tobacco, and rugged natural adventure. Unlike the Pacific Coast, this area offers a distinctly authentic and cooler climate experience, where rolling green hills, deep canyons, and vibrant agricultural life define the landscape.
This region is the ultimate destination for travelers seeking genuine cultural immersion and high-value, nature-based tours. From the exhilarating canyoning in Somoto to the world-renowned cigar factories of Estelí and the lush coffee routes of Matagalpa, the Northern Highlands provide an unrivaled blend of adventure and history.
