Trip to Selva Negra coffee plantation

This past weekend we went on a really nice weekend trip north to a german run coffee plantation/ eco resort. It was so nice to breath fresh air, to wear a fleece and use a blanket and walk a bunch. Things we dont really get to do here in Managua,

The coffee plantation Selva Negra (black forest) is completely sustainably run. We hiked around in the cloud forest on their property stared at some amazing plants, birds and monkeys and took a tour of the plantation including workers quarters and processing mill. All the food for the workers, their families and the hotel is raised and grown there . . . we had some good cheese!

anyway some pics of our weekend
