Bluefields Things to See and Do
Bluefields does not generally have a whole lot to offer visitors. Day trips to Laguna de Perlas and Rama Key are highlights. If you're here for a weekend, head to a club for some lively Caribbean music. Say what you will about the Garifuna, they certainly know how to have a good time.

Caribbean Coast Dance
Nicaraguans are a people of dance. The Pacific Coast is salsa territory; in the center of the country and to the north you'll find cowboy-style quebraditas. But it's along the Caribbean coast where reggae is king and where residents shake their hips to calypso, punta and soca. As with much of...

Moravian Church
This handsome, stately church was rebuilt in 1992 after Hurricane Juana flattened the original, 19th century building. It seems to be closed more than it's open, and despite several visits Viva's reviewer was unable to gain access. This is a shame, since the interior looked quite nice based on...

Parque Reyes
Bluefields' main park is called Parque Reyes, three blocks west of the sea. This is the center of the action during Palo Mayo celebrations, but it doesn't have a whole lot to offer at other times.
