The Zona Norte
Los Chiles
Few tourists make it to LOS CHILES, a border settlement just 3km from the Nicaraguan frontier, and other than soaking up the town's end-of-the-world atmosphere, there's little to do save for renting a boat or horse to go to Caño Negro, 25km downstream on the Río Frío . The only other reason you might come to Los Chiles is to cross the Nicaraguan border, although the majority of travellers still cross at Peñas Blancas, further west on the Interamericana.
