Jinotega, Nicaragua

Jinotega is the capital of Jinotega Department in the north central region of Nicaragua

Latitude: 13.1° N
Longitude: 86.0° W
Elevation: 3232 ft / 985 m

Jinotega is located in the north central mountains of Nicaragua, 160 kilometers from the capital, Managua. The city is situated in a valley encircled by high mountains, some covered with pine trees and some covered with cloud-covered rain forests. The department of Jinotega is made up of approximately 177,600 inhabitants over an extension of 9,576 square kilometers.

The capital city of the Department of Jinotega is the City of Jinotega. The Department of Jinotega produces 80% of the nation's coffee. It has a population of about 51,000 as of 2005 living inside a vast valley surrounded by mountains. It is known as "La Ciudad de las Brumas" ("City of Mists") for the magnificent whisks of clouds continuously feathering through the top of the valley.

According to locals, Jinotega began when five Spanish families moved north from Matagalpa to settle the "dry zone" or "zona seca" community of Naranjo which lies within the department of Jinotega - about 15 kilometers south of the city of Jinotega. The city of Jinotega was formed in the middle of a bowl-like mountainous area as a natural place for farmers in the surrounding countryside to come and trade. A large cross was placed at the highest point on the western edge of the city. It can be seen illuminated at night.

This department is the second largest in Nicaragua, bordering on the north with Honduras, on the south with Matagalpa, with Zelaya department on the east, and on the west with the departments of Esteli, Madriz, and Nueva Segovia

Name Jinotega derives from the Nahuatl word "Xinotencatl". Linguists disagree on the meaning of this word. Some interpret it as "City of the Old Men", whereas others translate it as "Neighbors of the Jiñocuabos". The word "Neighbors" here should be understood as being like the ending "ville" or "land" in English, like e.g. in "Janesville" or "Maryland". The interpretation as "Neighbors of the Jiñocuabos" is more likely to be the right one, since Jiñocuabo is a tree (bursera simaruba (L.) Sarg.) which was praised by the natives as a healing tree. Jiñocuabo trees grow up to the present in the areas surroundig Jinotega.

The department of Jinotega contains seven municipalities: San Rafael del Norte, La Concordia, Yali, Cua-Bocay, Wiwili, Pantasman and Jinotega.

is also one of two sources of Nicaragua's indigenous black ceramics. Outside of Jinotega 30 minutes on the highway to San Rafael del Norte, there is a tiny settlement that time has forgotten, where the work of black pottery specialists can be seen as they spin the clay in a local cooperative.

Paintings of Nicaragua:

Being Nicaragua a land of Lakes and Volcanoes, located in the tropics, with beautiful beaches, the ones in the Pacific Coast with dark volcanic sand and the ones in the Atlantic Coast with white sand. The landscape is more dramatic, sunsets have strong colors and seascapes are spectacular.

Nicaragua has two lakes, Cocibolca or Nicaragua Lake and Xolotlan or Managua Lake. Both lakes are beautiful and have Volcanoes on them. Xolotlan has the peninsula of Chiltepe, Momotombo and Momotombito. Cocibolca Lake or Granada Lake has the Ometepe Island, in front of Rivas, with two Volcanoes, the Concepcion Volcano and Maderas volcano.

The Major volcanoes in Nicaragua are, Cerro Negro, Concepción (volcano), Cosiguina, Las Lajas (volcano), Las Pilas, Maderas, Masaya Volcano, Mombacho.

We have San Juan del Sur in Rivas and beautiful Colonial Cities as Granada and Leon. Nicaragua has many artesans and they sell their art in Masaya market.

Nicaragua's folklore is present with it's dances as Los diablitos, La gigantona, El Viejo y la Vieja, El toro huaco, El baile de las inditas (The female indian's dance) and of course El Gueguense.

During the religious festivities as Las fiestas de Santiago or the celebration of Saint Sebastian or San Marcos, people parade with their horses and it is calle La Hipica. In December, The Immaculate conception is celebrated (La Purisima) along the whole Country.

Nicaragua's Colonial Churches are examples of architectural beauty and many of them house valuable pieces of art as The Cathedral of Leon, Parroqua de San Sebastian in Diriamba, Parroquia de Santiago apostol in Jinotepe, etc.

The hot tropical weather changes when you go tho the North, toward Matagalpa and Jinotega, Esteli and Nueva Segovia, which have mountains and the altitud turns the calid tropic into cold weather.

The tropics affect the colors in nature, being these more saturated and primaries. Flowers are more intense in saturation and some are fragile as our National flower, frangipani or sacuanjoche.

Flora and Fauna are abundant, we find iguanas and Nicaragua is one of the few places in the world where turtles come. Tropical birds with exotic colorfull feathers as parrots or cockatees, monkeys are abundant, as well as poisonous snakes.
