Selva Negra
Today we spend the majority of the day at Selva Negra, a park with old growth cloud forest, a coffee plantation and a hotel originally founded by a German couple decades ago. It is about 15 km north of the city and features several hiking trails where you can explore the Nicaraguan forests. It was very muddy given that it had just rained but we managed the trails.
During the hike we met a couple that was also backpacking through Central America. They were in the process of moving from England to Australia, this trip being their vacation in-between. We hiked with them for a bit and actually got to see some howler monkeys from the top of one of the ridges.
After making our way back down we had a snack at the hotel and then walked to the road where we caught a bus back to town. We had a great dinner at a little restaurant in town and then after attempting to catch up on some email on a very slow internet connection we headed back to the hotel and called it a night.
