Matagalpa
A good starting point for travellers exploring Nicaragua's
mountainous regions, Matagalpa (sometimes called the
Pearl of the North) is surrounded by beautiful valleys and
steep hills that contain coffee and cattle farms, Indian villages,
volcanoes, and other interesting places to visit. The city has a
uniquely German culture due to settlers in the region, and most of
the residents speak English. Matagalpa is also a paradise for
outdoor activities like hiking, bird watching and horseback
riding.
