Leon Vacation Guide
Not only is the city of Leon beautiful there is also a lot of history. There are many interesting moments in Leon’s past, one being that the city used to be located about 20 miles away from where it is currently. In 1610 there was an eruption of the Momotombo Volcano which caused damage and took lives so the people decided to move the city to where it is located today.
The city’s architecture is very beautiful, there is a lot of Spanish Colonial influence. The colors and the buildings are vibrant and pleasing, very Central America.
The main Cathedral was built in 1706-1740 and is Central America’s largest Cathedral. This Cathedral is located to the central park and is a very active location in Leon. There are also many street vendors located along the sidewalk of the Cathedral.
Another interesting point in Leon’s history is there was a constant battle weather Leon or Granada should be the capital of Nicaragua until in 1858 there was a compromise and Managua became the permanent capital.

Another day, another volcano! This hike was to have a different ending though as instead of walking down the mountain, the descent of this volcano was to be much faster than walking and well, a lot more fun! Someone not too long ago came up with the great idea of volcano boarding, which is basicall…
