Leon, Nicaragua
March 25-27, 2012
Leon is the land of volcanoes and has eight volcanoes all of which are part of the Cordillera de Los Maribios. The most interesting might be Cerro Negro which is a young small volcano that offers incredible views and slopes to practice "snowboarding", a popular tourist activity in the area. We simply used Leon as a base to plan our next destination but we definately feel it would be worth returning oneday to explore it further.
Our Accommodations - La Tortuga Booluda
We found a great little hotel near the heart of central Leon called La Tortuga Booluda (The Lazy Turtle). It only had a few rooms and was really cute and tranquil and there was free pancakes every morning!
Sometimes All You Need Is Dessert
Leon was very hot and we found a restaurant serving the best iced coffee ever with a huge chunk of chocolate cake! Sometimes, its just what you need!
