The lowest in elevation, and thus the warmest and closest settlement to Estelí. It offers magnificent views, especially from the Mirador La Meseta , and access to several waterfalls that range from trickling to thundering depending upon the season.
Check out Las Tres Cascadas , a series of cascades and swimming holes, and La Chorrera , a towering 65m-high waterfall that was used as en execution site by Somoza's troops. There’s also brilliant bird-watching in the forest that lines the river here.
