CITY MANAGUA & SHOPPING AT MARKETS :

Managua has been Nicaragua's capital since 1851 and today more than 1/3 of the country population lives there. During this excursion we will witness the evidence of the 1972 earthquake on old Managua, as well as the emerging new Managua city, product of a rapid growth. We will visit its both Cathedrals, Lake Managua, visit the recently renovated National Palace, containing most of Nicaraguan culture and history. This tour also presents the dramatic differences of the two societies between the rich and poor and the contrasts that exist in many other ways as well and shows the visitors urban daily life. Then we will go shopping to the most visited markets from the famous market of Masaya and purchase its well made hammocks, or pottery of San Juan de Oriente, the wood carvings, the leather merchandise, primitivist style paintings, the handmade cigars, or hard wood furniture (most which can be packed to take home easily), we will not only have the opportunity to buy at excellent prices, but also to enjoy meeting some of the artists.
