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 begin our adventure to the historic city of León at 9 am, picking you up from your hotel in Managua. The bus ride of approximately an hour and a half will lead us to the base of the Momotombo volcano. Here, we will explore the ruins of León Viejo, founded by Spanish conquistador Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba.
Next, we'll proceed to present-day León, starting with a visit to the Cathedral, where the notable poet Rubén Darío is laid to rest. After appreciating the cathedral, we will visit the House-Museum, which offers insight into Darío's childhood and life.
Our exploration continues at the local market, where you will have 1 hour of free time to sample León's traditional products. Following this, we will visit the Art Center of the Ortiz-Gurdián Foundation to explore the artistic expressions of the region. After our cultural immersion, we will begin our return journey to Managua.
We will drop you off at your hotel by 5 pm.
