 How to get

he reserve is located in the department of Carazo, less than 60

kilometers from Managua. It is easily accessible by taking the
road that leads from Diriamba to the beaches of La Boquita and
Casares. The Machine is located halfway up this road. The
entrance is on the right and there is a sign at kilometer 58½.
The reserve offers a wide variety of options for visitors. First of all, the reserve has
several trails that vary in level of difficulty and length. The different paths take you to
a large stone that narrates the geological history of the place, to a beautiful viewpoint
with an excellent view of the surroundings, and to a walk through the tropical dry
forest.
There are even more attractions in La Máquina. For example, there is a
beautiful waterfall located next to the entrance and the river that supplies the
waterfall runs two kilometers from the reserve, which moistens the area even
in the dry season. Likewise, the reserve has a restaurant at the entrance, ideal
for savoring a bit of food surrounded by nature.
