Catarina, Nicaragua's Garden City

Catarina is just on the outskirts of Masaya and is a neighboring village to San Juan de Oriente. It is known for several unique characteristics, one of which is the gorgeous and ubiquitous nurseries located around the town, and up the main street.


It is hard to pass these lush gardens with all the potted and hanging plants without planning an entire renovation of whatever garden you might have wherever you live!

Catarina is known for a number of other special features, including the Mirador overlooking Lago Apoyo, bamboo furniture, and cedar hand-carved furniture and accessories. Look for NicaPOD's about these topics in the future!
