Catedral San Juan

The beauty of Jinotega’s cathedral (c 1805) is in the sanctuary, where you’ll marvel at the chestnut and gold-leaf altar, and pristine white arches and rows of heavenly saints, sculpted with so much life and light they make spiritual peace contagious. Outside is the terrific, split-level Parque Central shaded by palms and towering laurel trees, full of rides for kids.
