Travel Guide Jinotega

Recontras, recompas (sandinistas) and revueltos (literally «scrambled», without special rules) still form opposing factions and foment internecine wars… But fear: you are not danger by taking the precautionary precautions and avoiding being too candid about political issues. Moreover, these precautions are worth the best if you are in the mountains, the town of Jinotega (which has no major tourist interest) being famous for the kindness of its inhabitants.Take a look at the Gothic Cathedral of 1805 and Carlos Fonseca's memorial monument on the central square, which evokes the ideal of the great revolutionary, shot on November 9, 1976: Trata of no lograr simplemente a cambio to hombres in el poder, Sino a cambio de sistema, el derrocamiento de las clases explotadoras y la victoria of las clases explotadas ("It is not just a change of the men in power, it is necessary to change the system, the fall of the exploiters and the victory of the exploited classes").The main attraction of the area is the beautiful artificial lake of Apanás, formed in 1964 (buses leave the market every hour for 20 min of journey). Landscapes that represent a little the image of Nicaragua, conveyed in our minds. We fish for guapote (perch) and tilapia.
