Send Flowers to Chinandega, Nicaragua

Chinandega is the main city of Nicaragua's north-western lowlands, a hot, fertile plain at the foot of San Cristóbal, the country's highest volcano. Sugar cane, peanuts and bananas grow in the volcanic soil around it, and the city works as the commercial centre for the whole region, close to the port of Corinto, the pilgrimage town of El Viejo and the road to the Honduran border at El Guasaule.

It is a place of traders, farm managers, sugar mill and port workers and their families, with a lively market and a centre of colourful churches. Many chinandeganos have emigrated to the United States, Costa Rica, Spain and Panama, and they keep in touch through gestures like a bouquet on Mother's Day, 30 May, flowers for a daughter's fifteenth birthday or an arrangement during the Purísima celebrations of early December, which are especially intense in this part of the country.

To send flowers to Chinandega for the same day, place the order before 11:00 am local time, Monday to Saturday. A local florist arranges the flowers by hand and delivers them to the door; orders received later are delivered the next day, and there are no Sunday deliveries. Chinandega has a reputation as one of the hottest cities in Nicaragua, so flowers should go indoors and into fresh water quickly.
