Send Flowers to Corinto, Nicaragua

Corinto is Nicaragua's principal Pacific port, built on a low island joined to the mainland by bridges, a short drive from Chinandega. Cargo ships and, in season, cruise ships call here, and most local families have some link to the docks, customs agencies, shipping or fishing. The town is compact, with old wooden houses, a seafront and beaches on its ocean side.

Sea breezes temper the heat a little, but the sun is strong and the air salty, so bouquets do best indoors. Sailors, port workers posted elsewhere and emigrants in the United States and Costa Rica often send flowers to Corinto for the people waiting at home, on Mother's Day, 30 May, on birthdays and at Christmas. Orders placed before 11:00 am local time are delivered the same day from Monday to Saturday, and later orders the next day; Sunday delivery is not available. A phone number helps the florist coordinate arrival.
