Matagalpa is a much smaller mountainous city in Nicaragua, located slightly at altitude (about 700m), which gives it a cooler temperature nestled in the cloud forest. The climate here means it’s the perfect place for growing coffee and the chocolate produced in this region is particularly renowned! The Selva Negra Cloud Forest is a fantastic place for birdwatching and hiking through scenic valleys and plantations.
