Often times in Nica I find myself in this type situation 100 years later... Anyone know where 'Guasimo' is? Do not see on map.

thanks for the post mark
that's one of the best shots I ever seen posted on here. memories of Nicaragua indeed, -reminds me of the "Old Folks Back Home " song.Wonder if that is FDC on the table or some variation of chicha
I love these old photos as well.
This is similar but in Honduras.

more info
Here in this site a found a info about the photographer , it make sense ,because the place is close to a traveler way he used. http://www.manfut.org/matagalpa/terrocarril.html
New info
I know El Guasimal , is a place like 3 km south of La Trinidad Estelí , a that time was considered part of Matagalpa.
The other places is Los guasimos is a point next to this one like 2km to the east.
By some old friends they ready died i know that place (El Guasimal )was like a pass stop traveling to Managua , when the people traveled in Cart.
Here you will find the places with that name, and his coordinates , (pag 53) http://www.ineter.gob.ni/Direcciones/ordenamiento/Nomenclatores/Nomencla...
La Trinidad, Esteli
On the outskirts of La Trinidad, Estelí there's a "comarca" called "Los Guasimos," but am not sure if that's the official name or if that's just what it's popularly called. Either way, it's a possibility!
The picture mentions Matagalpa as well, so maybe it's somewhere in Matagalpa.
Here (maybe)?

A reference point (again, maybe?): http://www.abundancefarm.com/directions.html
P.S. I have heard the name but have never been there so this might be another locale of same/similiar names.
