This destination includes the two largest departments of the North of the country, Matagalpa and Jinotega, as well as the two main cities of the same name. These regions are the most important coffee regions in Nicaragua, its where more than half of this crop is cultivated.
The cultivation of coffee has been a tradition around this area since the end of the XIX century where mostly German immigrants, encouraged by the Nicaraguan government at that time, were motivated to grow coffee. Its high mountains allow the growth of high quality coffee in perfect weather conditions. Currently, Selva Negra, La Cumplida, Esperanza Verde, El Jaguar, and other coffee farms are offering lodging and guided visits to teach about the interesting process of coffee production, such as handpicking, drying, sorting, roasting and packing.
These farms are now involved in promoting responsible tourism, sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. The landscapes are amazing with the many mountains and rural life is very approaching, most likely one of the best.

Die Reise war ein tolles Erlebnis, alle interessanten Stationen wurden berücksichtigt und das Programm war nicht zu voll. Die Hotels waren angenehm, die Strassen sehr abenteuerlich und wir waren froh, einen 4 x 4 Wagen zu haben.
Das örtliche Reisebüro ORO - Travel hat uns sehr beeindruckt, die Unterlagen und Vouchers kamen pünktlich bei der Autoübergabe und waren sehr informativ. In Granada wurden wir dann tel. informiert, dass wir wegen dem starken Wind, der zu dieser Zeit über Nicaragua hinwegfegte, evt. die Fähre nach Ometepe nicht benützen könnten, da 2 Tage vorher eine Fähre gekippt wäre. Sie würden uns dann ein neues Programm zusammenstellen.
Glücklicherweise legte sich der Wind dann soweit, dass wir trotzdem übersetzten konnten ( es war jedoch immer noch sehr abenteuerlich ). Wir fanden es jedenfalls sehr aufmerksam, dass ORO - Travel uns informiert hatte.
Die Autoübergabe in Montelimar hat ebenfalls wunderbar geklappt und auch der Rücktransport zum Hotel Camino Real.
Wir hatten immer ein gutes Gefühl und können nichts bemängeln.
Die Reiseunterlagen, welche wir von Ihnen erhielten waren uns eine grosse Hilfe und sehr umfangreich.
Wir würden diese Reise auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen.
I loved our trip!:

I loved our trip! Julio and Giovanni were both great, and my only complaint was that the trip was not longer. Oh, and it would be nice if your clients knew in advance how much to tip people such as bellboys, drivers, restaurant people, guides, etc. Even just a range would be good! Julio was nice enough to help us with most everyone except for himself :-)
Also, I think I might have restructured it a little bit too, i.e. seen some of the managua stuff the day we arrived, since we arrived fairly early in the afternoon, and there wasn't that much to do in or around our hotel. And I think I would have skipped spending the night in Leon, because the La Perla, while it looked nice, was where we had the most problems. Our door lock wouldn't work properly, our window wouldn't lock, and no one there spoke that much English. And it's just not as nice of a city as Granada is!
I liked La Omaja on Ometepe, although I was a little worried about it after talking to you. I didn't see the inside of Villa Paraiso, so I have nothing to compare it to, but the food was great (best breakfast of the trip!), and it was nice and quiet, and not full of people like Villa Paraiso.
Julio took great care of us, which is important to me, because while I can tough it out a bit, my wife needs more care, so he was very good for us. He always made sure we were okay, helped us to order at restaurants, was excellent at spotting wildlife, and was just generally fun to be with.
I liked Morgan's Rock and was glad that we ended the trip there. We had a lot of fun there, and it was nice to just relax, and I'm so grateful to you for getting us the second night on such short notice! The one little adventure we had was this: We arrived at the hotel, opened our suitcases up, and then went to dinner. While at dinner I thought that we should keep our suitcases closed, just in case any bugs crawled in, so when we got back to the room, we shut our suitcases, and zipped them up. In the morning, I went to get my clothes out of the suitcase, so I opened it up, and there was a big scorpion sitting in my suitcase! I was able to get it out with chopsticks that I always carry, and then killed it with my shoe. Thankfully we discovered him there and not when we arrived home! The only other thing I would say about Morgan's Rock is that service is slow, and things move at a different pace, so people should just relax and take things as they come.
Anyway, thank you so much for all of the hardwork that you put into our trip, all the planning, answering all of the questions, etc. I really appreciated it, and my wife, who is more the sit on a beach at a nice resort kind of person, loved the trip, which says a lot! I have already recommended your company to friends, so if you ever need a recommendation or anything, feel free to use my name!
