Know before you go
Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Segovias.
- Pack layered clothing as the weather in the highlands can be unpredictable, ranging from warm days to cool nights.
- Hire a local guide for exploring natural reserves like Miraflor to get the most out of your visit and to learn about the flora and fauna.
- Don't miss the local markets for fresh produce and traditional Nicaraguan food. Early morning visits are best for the freshest selections.
- Visit Estelí's tobacco factories for a unique experience, but book tours in advance as they can fill up quickly.
- Try to learn a few basic Spanish phrases; while many locals are friendly, not all speak English.
