     In addition to enjoying Mother Nature, there're other activities visitors can do at La Máquina. The place provides the proper conditions for those who enjoy camping. For a small price per person, one can spend the night in the outdoors and fall asleep to the pleasant sound of La Trinidad River, not to forget the nocturnal animals.

For those who just want to spend the day there, La Máquina conveniently has a restaurant for those who want a snack or a complete meal. The restaurant doesn't only serves Nicaraguan and sea food, but also Brazilian food. How about that? That's pretty cool. In the weekends, they play Brazilian music as well.

La Máquina should definitely be a must for those who love the outdoors, want to have a pleasant time or just freshen up a bit and enjoy a nice meal while listening to good music.

                                     THANKS FOR VISITING


La Máquina is located at the 58-Km mark on the road going to La Boquita (*). From Managua, it can be reached by first taking the Carretera Sur (South Highway) passing through Diriamba, Carazo and from there, getting on the La Boquita road. The Managua-Diriamba road is in excellent conditions but the Diriamba-La Boquita one is not in such good shape. The entry cost is 20 Córdobas (**)/adult. It's open everyday from 8AM-6PM.



**= La Boquita is a beach on Carazo's Pacific Coast.
***= 20 Córdobas: about $1.38(as of Nov. 2002)
