Matagalpa Highlands

Matagalpa Highlands

Matagalpa is a cool, green mountain region in northern Nicaragua covered with coffee farms and misty forests. The air is fresh and the hills roll on and on in every shade of green.

The highlands are famous for growing some of the world's tastiest coffee and for their cloud forests full of wildlife. Families love the cooler weather, nature walks, and friendly farm visits.

Cool Mountain Air

High in the mountains the weather is cooler and often misty, a nice change from the hot lowlands.

Cloud Forest

Green cloud forests here shelter monkeys, sloths, and hundreds of birds among the tall, mossy trees.
