Matagalpa, Selva Negra


Day 86, Sep 26, 2013, 67km


We have been making really good time the last couple of days so we will stay in Matagalpa for another day and explore this beautiful area.

Today started with Johnny preparing an excellent breakfast for us this morning. It was so much that we could not finish all of it and that says something.

After breakfast we headed up the mountainside to Selva Negra (Schwarzwald) resort founded by German Immigrants back in the late 1800s to help develop the coffee industry in this area.

Had some fresh ecologically produced coffee, straight from this place and what a difference this is in taste, just unbelievable good.

Continued a bit later on the twisty JM15 road through the mountains and looped back toward Matagalpa for a nice relaxing afternoon.

 

Old burnt out tank from the Sandinista revolution stands at the entrance to the  Selva Negra turn off.
