We'll then explore the Ortiz-Gurdián Art Gallery, which boasts an impressive collection of works by renowned Nicaraguan artists, as well as international masters like Picasso, Chagall, and Miró, & Latin American legends such as Diego Rivera, Rufino Tamayo, Fernando Botero, and Roberto Matta. Next, we'll embark on the Flor de Caña tour, a captivating journey through six interactive stations where you'll learn about the production and history of one of the world's most awarded rums.
