Explore Colonial Leon

Leon is smaller, more liberal, and less traveled than Granada. Here you will find an easy-going, family-friendly atmosphere that is popular with backpackers and independent travelers. Spend the first day simply walking around the city square, exploring Recoleccion Cathedral (sign up for a tour to the rooftop), as well as the baroque theater, street markets and sidewalk cafes. Enjoy a mojito made with the local, and fantastic, Flor de Cana rum at Bigfoot Hostel or Via Via across the street, then stick around for some live music.

Volcano Board Down Cerro Negro

Cerro Negro is a very young volcano (only 161 years old) and is very much one of the active ones. In its young life it has erupted 23 times — the last one occurring in 1999.
You can board down the other side on a stand-up board (similar to a snowboard), or sit down like a sled and race down the mountainside!

Ometepe Island

With its twin volcanic peaks, rising up out of Lago de Nicaragua, have captured the imagination of everyone from precolonial Aztec descendents (who thought they’d found the promised land) to Mark Twain (who waxed lyrical about it in his book Travels with Mr Brown).

The island’s fertile volcanic soil, clean waters, wide beaches, wildlife population, archaeological sites and dramatic profile are quickly propelling it up traveler tick lists.

More than 1700 petroglyphs have been found on Ometepe.

In 2010 it was named a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.

Little Corn Island

Located on the Caribbean side of Nicaragua, you will leave the hustle and bustle aside from the mainland and arrive in one of the best kept secrets of the Caribbean Little Corn Island is a tiny jungled, car-less jewel where lobster and diving are in abundance.
