Ocotal is in Nicaragua. It is a smallish town near a lesser used northern border crossing. It has a real frontier feel. Not much for most travelers here other than a transit point. It is spread out over a few kilometers. There is more shopping here than you'd expect due to the border proximity. There is even a well stocked gun store.

The town is small enough to walk almost anywhere, but there are taxis if you want one.
