3 of my favorite places in Leon, Nicaragua : the Cathedral of Assumption, the Church of Recollection and boardsurfing on a volcano!
The Cathedral of Assumption: charming place in the center of Leon
It is the biggest one of America Latina and was built in the XVIIIth century.
It is free to visit. Only the access to the roof needs to be paid (1$) but it is worth to check it out, the view is precious!
Opening hours: 8.00am-12.00pm ; 2:00pm-4.00pm from Monday to Saturday.
Church of Recollection: the color of the city
Surfboarding on volcano Cerro Negro: a must-do!
One hour of hiking with the board in the back...
Breathtaking view on the way and at the top
Sliding down the 728 meters of the Cerro Negro in 3 minutes
No worries, the last erruption was in 1999, it should be ok!
Price: 28$ (included two way trip in jeep, board, protection, shirt "surfing on the Cerro Negro")
