Have you ever wondered what's the cheapest way to travel around Nicaragua? It's undoubtedly the so-called "chicken buses", the refurbished old American school buses... Just make sure to take the "express" bus because the regular variety will be stopping at every corner and your journey will take forever.
We started at the bus terminal in Leon and the road up the mountains to Matagalpa was scenic. We thought that our hotel was in the actual town of Matagalpa but, in reality, it was a few kilometers down the road to Jinotega and then we had to go off the main road and the local village road. At the end it was really worth it: we ended up at Rancho Luz de Luna, a restaurant with cabins nestled in the mountains on an estate with coffee, banana, orange and mamey sapote trees. You can have your own cabin with the bathroom for $50/night; if you take a walk down to the local creek, you might just see the guardabarranco, the national bird of Nicaragua in the ravine.
