    This town, founded 1523, is famous for medicine and magic, curanderos and shamans. On the festival of San Pedro the excited locals “accompany” the saint as he inspects the village, dancing (the townfolk, not Saint Peter) and, in the case of two or three men I saw in a video, waving around machetes like batons. I guess people come here from far and wide to see this, but my wife and I have seen such goings-on before. We made a beeline for the road leading to the nature area overlooking Laguna de Apoyo, a volcanic lake. By the way, “volcano lake” in Nicaragua is almost always redundant.
