The best part about having a car is that you can go anywhere, anytime. Make the most of your freedom by checking out all there is on offer in Esteli. It’s just 17 miles away. Among your first few stops here should be Drew Estate Cigar Factory, Esteli Cathedral and Somoto. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of San Rafael del Norte, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Santuario Cerro Tepeyac. (But we’d also highly recommend San Rafael Arcangel Parish and El Jaguar.)
