Flor de Caña Tour
About This Museum
You might not expect to find a temple to Nicaraguan history inside a rum distillery, but that's exactly what the Flor de Caña Tour provides. It’s far more than a tasting experience; it’s a deep dive into over a century of local culture and industry. The journey begins with the original machinery and personal artifacts from the founding family, telling a story of perseverance. You'll even see vintage bottles and advertising that trace the nation's evolving tastes, all set against the backdrop of the working hacienda.
Collection Highlights
The tour showcases everything from the massive, antique copper stills used in the early days to a charming collection of vintage rum bottles and historic labels. Personal letters and photographs from the founding Pellas family add a deeply human touch to the industrial narrative.
Visitor Information
You'll find it just two kilometers south of the main empalme (junction) in Chichigalpa, right off the highway to Chinandega—look for the Gasolinera Uno as your landmark. Given its high ratings, it's a good idea to check for tour times in advance.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed within the distillery's sprawling hacienda-style complex, characterized by its rustic, sun-baked brickwork and airy courtyards that feel more like a historic estate than a factory.
