Itinerary

Meet your guide at the port to embark on a 5-hour walking tour of Leon, one of Nicaragua’s oldest and most influential cities. Learn how the city survived pirate attacks and volcanic eruptions as you walk through the winding streets and alleys of this colonial city with your guide.

Discover Leon’s artistic culture on a visit to the modern art museum, which showcases works by both local and internationally renowned artists like Dali and Warhol. Switch gears to learn about contemporary Nicaraguan culture at a local market, where vendors purvey tropical produce, meats, and other goods.

Continue your tour at Nicaragua's first university, whose roots date to the 17th century but now boasts classic colonial architecture. End your outing on a high note at the centerpiece of the city, the UNESCO World Heritage designated Leon Cathedral. Mount the steps to the roof and take in the view over the city and surrounding Maribios volcanic chain.

Return to the port, where you will bid farewell to your guide.
