Overview

Our journey begins in the heart of León, the Central Park (Parque Central), surrounded by majestic colonial buildings and bustling activity. Here, we'll delve into the city's past, learning about its significance as Nicaragua's intellectual and political hub.

As we stroll through the streets, we'll stop at the Mercado Central, where you can immerse yourself in Nicaraguan cuisine's vibrant colors and flavors. Sample traditional snacks while chatting with friendly vendors and experiencing the everyday life of León's residents.
*Morning tour only*

Next, we'll visit the iconic León Cathedral (Catedral de la Asunción), a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the largest cathedrals in Central America. Marvel at its impressive architecture and climb to the top for panoramic views of the city and surrounding volcanoes.
*Afternoon tour only*

Eventually, we'll walk through the south and west sides of the city to learn more about the contemporary history of Nicaragua.

No visit to León would be complete without experiencing its vibrant arts scene. We will admire the creativity of Nicaraguan artists portrayed on some of the walls of the July 23rd basketball court.

“A MUST DO when in León!!”
The best and by far most interesting walking tour i’ve ever been on. Alejandro is a very nice and welcoming person with a lot of knowledge about the things he tells. He responded to every question informatively and we were able to spend a varied and informative morning in Leon. From art and culture, to history to culinary insider tips, everything is included. His sympathetic manner made it easy to talk beyond the tour. 100% recommend booking with him! Overall 10/10 ;) Danke und alles Gute aus Hamburg und Karlsruhe, Helena und Paul

“Must-Do Tour in León”
This tour was an excellent introduction to León Nicaragua. Our guide was a native to the city and exceptionally knowledgeable about it's history and Nicaraguan history overall. The highlight was definitely touring the rooftop of the Cathedral of Leon. Our guide was also able to offer local recommendations for restaurants, bars, and attractions. I'd 100% recommend booking this tour on your next visit!
