The itinerary

We offer an ecological and enjoyable way to discover the hidden gems of León Santiago De Los Caballeros.

Hop on a bike and follow our expert local guide to explore the beauty and interesting places of this town! Throughout the itinerary, there will be stops where you can learn about the highlights visited and their history.

The journey begins at Central Park and continues to the baseball stadium (the national sport) and San Felipe Church. We’ll pause to discuss sports and religious activities before heading to San Juan Park and the station market, once the site of the train station until the 1990s.

Next, we’ll visit two significant religious landmarks: El Calvario Church and Guadalupe Church, known for its churchyard where locals gather.

Returning downtown, we’ll explore more highlights, including the ruins of the first church of the new city of León (abandoned due to fear of the Momotombo volcano eruption) and the Museum of Myths and Legends, illustrating Nicaraguan folk tales and the somber history of torture during the Somoza regime.

In this historically significant neighborhood—where the new León was founded by Spanish aristocratic families—we’ll visit Liborio Church and stop at Tope del Indio Park, featuring a monument to the indigenous people who marked the territory of the Sutiaba pre-Columbian tribe.

We’ll take a break at a local restaurant to enjoy a typical snack.

Finally, we’ll conclude the historical journey by revisiting pivotal events that shaped the city’s history in this area.
