Discover the ruins of León Viejo and present-day León, the city where Rubén Darío spent his last days, with this excursion from Managua!
Description
We'll kick off our adventure to León at 9 am, picking you up from your hotel in Managua. The bus ride will take approximately an hour and a half to the base of the Momotombo volcano. Here, we'll explore the ruins of León Viejo, founded by Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba.
Next, we’ll head to present-day León, starting with the Cathedral, where the poet Rubén Darío is buried. After enjoying the cathedral, we'll visit the House-Museum to learn about Darío's childhood and life.
We will stroll through the local market, providing a chance to sample traditional products of León, with 1-hour of free time for tasting León's cuisine.
The tour also includes a visit to the Art Center of the Ortiz-Gurdián Foundation, where we will explore local artistic techniques and styles. After this cultural immersion, we’ll return to Managua.
We will drop you off at your hotel by 5 pm.
