León, located in western Nicaragua, is the second-largest city in the country and is renowned for its rich colonial-era architecture and vibrant art culture. Known for its historic charm, it is home to the grand, neoclassical Cathedral of Leon, Central America's largest cathedral and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city is steeped in revolutionary history, filled with politically charged murals, and captivates visitors with its intriguing mixture of beautiful colonial buildings, vibrant markets, and active volcanoes. Here, you can also indulge in the unique and exhilarating experience of volcano boarding on Cerro Negro, one of the youngest and most active volcanoes in the world.

León

No the most exciting city but it has ended up being one of my longest stays:)
Between the EXCELLENT (and affordable!) vegan cafe nearby and the also excellent and affordable gym, this place has become a nice little spot where I’ve found myself settling into a routine for a bit. Very enjoyable
