Still in the mountains in the town of Estelí which was a hotbed of resistance in the late 1970's. On the Pan-American highway so lots of traffic going past, but in the centre it's quieter, apart from the buses, cars, motorbikes and people!
Rented a taxi for the morning to take us up to a protected area, past the Estanzuela waterfall where we were the only visitors,
up to the hamlet of Garnacha at about 1400 metres with fantastic views, allegedly over three countries.
Coffee in a lovely spot on the way back.
Walked in to visit the local museum, a real eclectic mix from pre-Columbian to revolution. The older part of town is lovely but probably rebuilt after Somosa attacked and destroyed it.
If we can find the right bus, off for a farm stay for three nights. You just get used to a place then leave!
