Village Life in Nicaragua’s Poorest Region: Northern Autonomous Zone

  • Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
  • I wanted to explore a very remote village in the middle of nowhere in Nicaragua. My plan was to head to a small village that I saw on Google Maps called "El Toro". The villages in the center of Nicaragua are far off the tourist trail so this was undiscovered territory.
    What was life like? How much did they make? What interesting relics could I find?
    I started out my journey in a city called Rio Blanco, which is right in the center of the country. Then took a chicken bus to the rural countryside where I brought my foot down into El Toro. I walked around a bit and met a family who showed me around....the hospitality of Nicaraguans.

    unreal how friendly they are. They haven't lost faith in each other as we have further north. Trusting, generous, humble, all of the virtues we have long given up. It might only be $500 for a cow, but unless you know how to care for it in Nicaragua, it would be a sick/dead cow before you know it. If farming or doing ANYTHING to make money was easy in poor country, they wouldn't be poor.

    I ve stayed in a much poorer house. I was glad to have my hammock and my hot shower system.! This is far from being a miserable life style. And they eat pretty healty compare to industrial countries where people are feed with shit. I don t know why they have to start the day so early. Anywhere in the world, i think, it s better to have little money in the country side than in a big city. I don t beleive the $4-5 $ a day salary. Unless maybe the job include everything .

    Hi Paul Dilla.
    I will be heading to Nicaragua in just under 4 weeks.
    With a young female friend from Guatemala.
    After meeting you, I was wondering if she would mind meeting a canadian.
    How much do you think they would accept, without insulting them, for 2 nights stay?
    Just to help them a bit!
    Thank you!

    If this is the poorest region in Nicaragua,then those people over there are very rich my friend.
    I can imagine how you struggle to pay your monthly bills and loan installments 😂
    They know how to sew the clothes , They know how to grow food,
    They are able to breed the animals,
    They know that human nature is to wake up with first sunlight.
    What do you know my "Rich" friend?
    When is your next week rota?
    When will be your next brake to run in the toilet?
    In what Pub you'll go this Friday night to get pissed.
    Yes my friend, they are poor and you are very rich .
    But I will tell you something my friend,
    If the richness is measured by "wealth" (how much money do we have)
    Then I will be poor and happy ✌️
