The 10 Best Things to Do in León, Nicaragua in 2025

"About an hour from the city, Cerro Negro is the volcano most backpackers visit for volcano boarding — the hike is 1–2 hours and trips leave multiple times per day and last a few hours; I did the hike but skipped sliding down on a board, though boarding tours are the big draw here." - Matthew Kepnes
