Adventures in Nicaragua’s Poorest Zone: Northern Autonomous Region!
The village I went to today was called Bocana de Paiwas, which is right in the center of Nicaragua, about an 1-2 from the closest city of Rio Blanco, a city in the northern Autonomous Region of Nicaragua. This village is far off the tourist trail and I was happy to hear that I was the first tourist to ever visit.
The reason why I wanted to explore the rural villages of Nicaragua was to see real Nicaraguan culture. Bocana surprised me because of the unique cowboy culture that I could feel here - from the hats, riding the horses, and even the general vibe.
So after a bumpy ride on a chicken bus, we finally arrived.
This was the real Nicaragua I wanted to see. Not some fancy vlog.
Join me as I venture out into rural Nicaragua....
Village Life in Nicaragua’s Poorest Region: Northern Autonomous Zone
I wanted to explore a very remote village in the middle of nowhere in Nicaragua. My plan was to head to a small village that I saw on Google Maps called El Toro. The villages in the center of Nicaragua are far off the tourist trail so this was undiscovered territory.
What was life like? How much did they make? What interesting relics could I find?
I started out my journey in a city called Rio Blanco, which is right in the center of the country. Then took a chicken bus to the rural countryside where I brought my foot down into El Toro. I walked around a bit and met a family who showed me around....the hospitality of Nicaraguans.

In addition, there is a small house adjoining for maid's quarters, complete with bath. And, there is a brand new Caretaker's House at the entrance to the property. There is a corral, complete with a covered area for the horses.
The architecture is quite unique: a mixture of indigenous (with typical ranchos with palm-thatched roofs, plus bedrooms that are built of quarry stone with plaster imitating adobe. Completely earthquake proof with seismic (steel re-enforced beams in the foundation, in the middle of the walls and around the top. Roof is welded steel beams with fiber-cement panels, painted white on both sides to reflect heat.
A lovely pool: approximately 14 x 25 feet, 12,500 gallons. Maximum depth: 4'10, Minimum depth: 3 feet. The pool has an electronic chlorinator that never requires the addition of chlorine. Rock salt is added as the apparatus requires it and the salt is converted into small amounts of chlorine that keep the pool clear and clean.

Rancho Don Quijote is situated on two hills that have a lovely view of the Tisma Lagoon, which connects Lake Managua to Lake Nicaragua. A brisk breeze blows up from the Lagoon, keeping the place cool. The eastern horizon has an impressive view of the mountains of Chontales, and to the south can be seen Mombacho Volcano.
In a process of reforestation, more than 400 trees were planted in 2010, mostly flowering and hardwood. In addition, there are fruit trees—orange, lemon, sweet lemon, avocado, mango, papaya and others.
TOURISM POSSIBILITIES:
The farm has two hills. The Residence is located on the first of them. The second has approximately 11 acres and on the higher part could easily hold 6-12 cabins. We have an estimate for the construction of a cabin that measures 16 x 27, which includes a living room/bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. Building it with quarry stone with stucco imitating Colonial adobe and a roof of fiber cement corrugated panels, painted white on both sides, complete with water and light connections, for about $US10,000.00 each.
Since the Farm is located only 25 minutes from the International Airport in Managua, it has magnificent possibilities for a tourist project. The cabins would accommodate easily a couple and 2-3 children. The Living Room of the main Residence could easily serve as a dining/living area for guests. The kitchen in the Residence has everything necessary for the preparation of meals for more than 25 persons. The pool is adequate for the enjoyment of as many.
The location of the Rancho Don Quijote (12 miles north of Masaya) will permit excursions in the region, including the Masaya Volcano, the Artesan Market in Masaya, the Apoyo Volcano Lagoon in Catarina, and Granada, with its historic architecture and Lake Nicaragua.
There are two horses that are trained and tame and could be used by the guests on an hourly rental basis.
The 75-foot tower-antenna connects to the Internet magnificently and a router provides WiFi connection throughout the Residence.
With an investment of a little more than $US50,000.00, the new owner can have four cabins prepared to receive tourists. An investigation on the Internet has indicated that a week in such a place as Rancho Don Quijote could charge at least $500-600.00 for a couple, including Nicaraguan meals. An initial feasibility study indicates that the point of equilibrium for such a project is 20% occupancy.
