San Juan de Cusmapa is the highest elevation town in Nicaragua. It is about 25 miles Southwest of Somoto. Honduras is not far away. The road from Somoto to Cusmapa was just bricked this summer. The bricks were all laid by hand, as most bricks are. But we don't usually think of miles of road being done that way!
The first time we went to Cusmapa on the bus, the driver never got out of second gear. It's kind of like a logging road. The road goes up and down over three ridges I think. And several small communities are along the way as well.
