San Juan de Oriente

Founded in 1585, San Juan de Oriente is a quaint village nestled in the Masaya department of Nicaragua, known as one of the country’s White Towns. The narrow streets wind through a community where pottery has been a cherished tradition for generations. Local artisans work in ceramic workshops, often set up within their own homes, crafting an array of handmade items. Visitors can explore these workshops, observing the potters at their craft and selecting unique, handcrafted souvenirs to take home.
