Matagalpa Tours, the pioneering tour operator in Northern Nicaragua, proudly celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Since its founding in 2005, the company has been at the forefront of sustainable and community-based tourism, crafting authentic travel experiences that connect adventurers with the rich culture, natural beauty, and welcoming communities of Nicaragua.
A Legacy of Exploration and Authentic Connections
As the first tour operator to develop and promote tourism in Northern Nicaragua, Matagalpa Tours has led the way in uncovering hidden destinations and creating meaningful travel experiences. From the lush cloud forests and coffee plantations of Matagalpa to dramatic canyons and remote indigenous communities, the company has introduced travelers to Nicaragua’s best-kept secrets all while fostering genuine connections with local families, farmers, and artisans. By engaging in traditional farming practices and cultural exchanges, guests gain a deeper understanding of Nicaragua, while their visits contribute directly to the local economy and the preservation of cultural heritage.
Commitment to Guide Training and Environmental Education
A core part of Matagalpa Tours’ mission is investing in people and nature. Over the past two decades, the company has built a strong reputation for training local guides, ensuring they become knowledgeable ambassadors of Nicaragua’s biodiversity and culture. Additionally, Matagalpa Tours has played a significant role in environmental education programs with Agualí, empowering local youth with the knowledge and passion to protect their natural surroundings.
The Future of Sustainable Travel in Central America
As Matagalpa Tours marks this milestone, the company remains dedicated to sustainable adventure travel, continuously developing new routes and innovative experiences that highlight Nicaragua’s natural and cultural heritage. Recently, the company has expanded their services to other Central American countries as well.
