León - San Jacinto Mud Fields & Tortilla Workshop
Description
Visitors are sure to be impressed by the incredible forces of nature present at the boiling volcanic mud fields of San Jacinto. San Jacinto is a little town about 20 kilometers northeast of León; behind the village there are fumaroles, boiling mud holes, that are connected to the Telica volcano. These volcanic fields serve as 'breathing holes' for the nearby volcanoes, giving the area the appearance of a Martian landscape (and, in turn, help to prevent future eruptions).
Your guide takes you for a walk around the holes, which differ in size and color, and you can see the mud boiling fiercely. The mud sometimes throws little rocks in the air and steam is continuously emitted from the holes. Local people (especially children) are keen to sell you indigenous ceramics and handmade figurines, made fresh from the hot volcanic mud.
After this, visit a local family from San Jancinto, for a Tortilla Workshop.
The tortilla is one of the most popular items in Nicaraguan cuisine, and is an important staple in the everyday diet. You will be involved in the creative process of tortilla making, by having your own dough ball to shape into a tasty flatbread. You will assist the local cooks in charge of the kitchen by cooking the tortillas on a woodstove. When they are cooled off, you get to eat your tortilla with a Nicaraguan style breakfast prepared just for you.
