Send Flowers to San Marcos, Nicaragua

San Marcos is a small, tidy town on the Carazo plateau, between Jinotepe and Masatepe, with a cool breeze and coffee groves at its edges. Its distinctive feature is an international university campus where classes are taught in English, which brings students and lecturers from across Central America and beyond and gives the town a more cosmopolitan air than its size suggests.

Each April the town celebrates its patron saint, San Marcos, with processions and music. Parents abroad send flowers to San Marcos for students' birthdays and graduations, and emigrants send them to their own parents on Nicaraguan Mother's Day, 30 May. Order before 11:00 am local time for same-day delivery from Monday to Saturday; later orders are delivered next day, and Sunday is not available. For a student, give the residence or house, the reference-based address and a mobile number so the florist can arrange the handover.
