You’ll want to explore nearby San Rafael del Norte. What’s 17 miles when you’ve got a set of wheels? The drive there is half the fun! Soak up the sights starting with Santuario Cerro Tepeyac, San Rafael Arcangel Parish and El Jaguar. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Matagalpa, 20 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Cerro Apante Natural Reserve. (But we’re also big fans of El Castillo del Cacao Museum and Parque Morazan.)
