Jalapa

Jalapa extends over 687 square kilometers in northern Nicaragua, near the Honduras border, with a population of 73,965 residents across urban and rural areas.

The municipality gained attention during the Contra war when CIA-funded forces attempted to establish control of the city in late 1982 and December 1983.

The National Maize Fair occurs every September, bringing together local food producers, craftspeople, and residents to celebrate agricultural traditions and regional cuisine.

The region maintains temperatures between 17 and 24 degrees Celsius throughout the year, making agricultural activities possible across multiple growing seasons.

Local artisans create distinctive crafts from pine needles through women's cooperatives, contributing to the economic development of the municipality.
