Street Scams in Granada

Fake Handmade Hammock and Craft Sales

Vendors near Parque Central and along the tourist strip sell hammocks, textiles, and crafts claiming they are handmade locally or from indigenous communities. Many items are mass-produced imports from China or Guatemala with Nicaraguan branding added. Prices are inflated well above what identical items cost in local markets and the quality is significantly lower than genuine artisan work.
