Located about 120 kilometers south of Managua in western Nicaragua, Masatepe is a famous traditional crafts town on the Pacific coast. The town, about 500 meters above sea level, is known for its superb leatherwork, woodcarving and pottery, especially the handmade shoes and saddles, which are a blend of Spanish colonial style and native craftsmanship features that attract both domestic and foreign tourists. The town's San Sebastian Church is an architectural gem from the colonial period, and the traditional dance "Moros y Cristianos" (Moros and Cristianos), performed every January on the "Festival of San Sebastian", is full of cultural energy. The area is surrounded by the Mazatepe volcano. Surrounded by the Masatepe volcano and green valleys, the climate is ideal for craft lovers and for experiencing Nicaragua's countryside.
