It was the land of the famous Indian chief “Agateyte” who ruled the Nahuas-Nicaraguas in this entire region. In the 60’s and 70’s Chinandega was the richest region of the country, due to the production of quality cotton.

Today, Chinandega is the main exit port of the Nicaraguan exports through “Puerto Corinto”. Now, on its fertile volcanic soil, sugar cane is cultivated to produce sugar and the famous rum “Flor de Caña”, several times awarded around the globe.

A hiking through the active San Cristobal volcano or Casitas is worth the experience due to the incredible landscapes from their summits. Natural reserves Estuary Padre Ramos and Cosiguina volcanic Crater Lake are part of the tourist attractions of Chinandega.

Destination: Chinandega
Date: July 10 2008

Nicaragua is proud to have one of the best rums in the world with unique smoothness and flavor. Flor de Caña that stands for “flower of sugar cane” is the Nicaraguan rum produced in the fertile soils of Chichigalpa and it was first produced in 1890 in the San Antonio sugar mill. Flor de Caña produces the finest rum sticking to the tradition of slow-aging method, thus offering a wide range of choices of 4,5,7,12,15 and 18 years. This delicate process happens in small white oak barrels, making it into exceptional high quality rum. Flor de Caña has been awarded with 72 international medals and 13 recognitions in the last five years.
