León is the artistic and intellectual heart of Nicaragua, the colonial capital for three centuries and the former home of its three greatest poets, including the undisputed national hero Ruben Darío. Nicaragua’s second largest city is normally full to the brim with students from around the country that come to study in its fine secondary schools and universities. A UNESCO World Heritage building, the Cathedral of León is Central America’s largest temple, and despite sweltering year-round heat the city enjoys an advantageous position set between the ruggedly majestic Maribios Volcanoes to the east and the crashing surf of the warm Pacific Ocean just 21 km to the west. The city is a base for volcano hiking and coastal kayaking and surfing, whereas culture tours highlight the city’s revolutionary history, colonial architecture and artistic traditions.
