Lonely Planet review for Arboretum Nacional
Opened in 1990 with the aim of raising local environmental awareness, the arboretum features more than 200 species of plants divided into Nicaragua's five major life zones. Only the Dry Tropical Forest and Central Lowlands exhibits look happy; that was one sad coffee plant. Look out for the madriño, the national tree, and the sacuanjoche, the national flower.
