University sights in Managua

  1. A

    Universidad Centro America

    Founded in 1960 as a Jesuit school, this is one of Nicaragua's premier universities, with a science and alternative-technology-heavy curriculum, Che Guevara sculptures and vegetarian eateries out front. Worth a wander, in particular the Centro Historia Militar, with relics from Sandino to the Sandinistas, if you're beginning to worry that the revolution is over.
