Explore the fascinating history of one of Nicaragua s oldest and most influential cities by foot. It is considered to be Nicaragua's historical, cultural, educational and religious capital. León was dismantled, moved, and rebuilt due to volcanic activities, ransacked (and reconstructed) by pirates, and won and lost its struggle as the most important city in Nicaragua against Managua. During this guided walking tour, you will visit revolutionary murals, baroque and neoclassical churches and an art museum displaying works by internationally renowned artists. A local market, colonial buildings - among them Nicaragua's first university - will also be explored. In addition, you will climb to the rooftop of Central America's largest cathedral, registered on UNESCO's list of World Heritage, and enjoy the astonishing views over the city and surrounding Maribios Volcanic Chain.
