Matagalpa is known for its coffee farms and rainforest. On the first day we were there we did a walk through the forest at a coffee farm just out of town, we decided to save the coffee tour for the next day though. This proved to be a bad decision as we paid $20 for what we thought was a half day tour of a coffee farm including a walk though the forest. What we got was a 22 year old guide straight out of tourism school who took us on a walk to a waterfall and a view of the town which would have been nice without the annoying guide. We then went on to the coffee farm where we walked a few minutes into the farm, our giude pointed out a coffee tree and told us the tour was over and how did we like it?! Needless to say we were dissapointed and pissed off.
We have been trying to find a washing machine for 2 weeks now without luck, its quite interesting how underdeveloped some of these cities are.
