A view of the city

The vegetables havested and sold there

Sébaco is known for being an important producer of vegetables and other crops that are exported to other parts of the country. The city is located in a valley with the same name, about 30 km. west of Matagalpa.

The city of Sébaco has a friendly central park. Right next to the highway there is a colorful market where carrots, onions, yucca, cabbage, and other agricultural products are sold.

The small community of Chagüitillo is also located along the road to Matagalpa, only 4 kilometers from Sébaco. Despite its small size it has a well set up museum that provides information about one of the most interesting yet fairly uninvestigated aspects of this area: the archeological traces left by indigenous groups that lived here centuries ago. The Pre-Columbian Museum of Chagüitillo has a collection of artifacts and petroglyphs, along with information about the indigenous groups that have created these objects.

The town is really small and has the most friendly people you can ever meet. Down the road of the panamerican high way you will find people selling all kind of fruits, vegetables and small animals like squirrels for low prices.


You can take a bus for about USD $2 an it would take you more than an hour to get there. You can take a rented car also.
