Leon

Leon is a lively university city known for its huge white cathedral, the largest in Central America. Its streets are full of murals, markets, and students, with volcanoes rising in the distance.

The city is famous for its grand cathedral where you can walk on the sunny white rooftop, and for the black volcano nearby where people slide down the ash. It mixes history, art, and adventure in one place.

Cerro Negro

A young black volcano nearby lets brave visitors sled down its ashy slopes on a board, like sledding on a dark hill.

Murals and Art

Colorful wall murals across the city tell stories of Nicaragua's history and are fun to spot on a walk.
