Masatepe - Travel & Tourism Guide Masatepe - Nicaragua

Advertising

Masatepe is where the sumptuous rocking chairs found in every Nicaraguan home are made. Too bad these works of art don't fit in a backpack! Take comfort in asking the price... It would seem that the massive exports of recent years have put a dampener on spirits. On the other hand, you'll be able to buy some very pretty wicker or wooden items. Leather shoes will be of particular interest. Discover the historical and cultural heritage of the area, including the Church of St. John the Baptist, the old railway station (declared a national cultural heritage site), the House of Culture and the Luisa Mercado Foundation.
