Walking Tour of Estelí | Nicaragua Travel

World class coffee, colourful festivals and some of the best restaurants in Nicaragua can all be found in the city of Esteli. Estelí is a vibrant city in north Nicaragua. In this Nicaragua Travel Vlog we take you on a walking tour of Esteli. Along the way we will give you insider tips on where to stay in Esteli, what to do in Esteli and where to get the best cup of Nicaraguan coffee. We stumble upon a Nicaragua festival (Estelí Festival de las Artes) which showcases some of the best of Nicaragua culture and Nicaragua dance. By the end of this video you’ll see why you need to include Esteli in your Nicaragua travel itinerary when next visiting Nicaragua and why you should consider Estelí as one of the most livable cities in Nicaragua if you are thinking of living in Nicaragua.

    To clarify the meaning of EL GALLO MAS GALLO, GALLO in Nicaragua is an urban adjetive for Brave in english... so the title el gallo más gallo means THE BRAVEST ROOSTER... that's why you can see the rooster cartoon with its arms raised up as a wrestler....

    Hi Senay, Nicaragua has a 3 month visa that you obtain when you enter the country. The visa also allows you to enter Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala during that time as well. There are flights into Nicaragua from a couple of countries and a lot of people find it easier to fly to Costa Rica and then cross the land border into Nicaragua. Good luck!

    Hi there Dirty Dingus, thanks for watching. We stayed at a great hotel, however we found that accommodation options in Esteli were more expensive for the services that you got relative to the rest of the country. For example, we stayed at a one bedroom studio at Playa Maderas with faster internet for half the price of the hotel room in Esteli.
