| Information about this itinerary: |
| Granada (8 Hotels options in Granada) |  | Founded in 1524, Granada is the oldest city in Central America. The city keeps its old colonial architecture as treasures. It is located 27 miles (45 km) from Managua on the north shore of Lake Nicaragua. The main highway, Managua-Granada, is a scenic route as are the majority of Nicaraguan roads. Once in this colonial city, you have so many different attractions that overnight at Granada is a must.
|
| Leon (3 Hotels options in Leon) |  | León was the capital city of Nicaragua for over 200 years until replaced by Managua in 1851. It is regarded as the "intellectual capital" with a university, several religious colleges and the Metropolitan Cathedral, considered the largest cathedral in Central America. Its architecture is representative of religious art from the mid-1700's to the present. The country's most prestigious political, religious and intellectual figures are buried here. |
| Selva Negra - Matagalpa (2 Hotels options in Selva Negra - Matagalpa) |  | Matagalpa is a cloud forest located 87 miles (145 km) from Managua, near the city of Matagalpa (in Nahuatl), at more than 4,000 feet (1,455 mt) above sea level. Originally, it was a coffee farm called Hammonia by its German settlers, but the farm evolved into a protected forest. Many birds live in these woods, including the Quetzal and the more modest Trogons Elegance. |
| Managua (10 Hotels options in Managua) |  | In the Nahuati language, Managua means, 'where there is an extension of water.' This aptly describes Nicaragua's bustling capital city, to the north is Lake Managua (Lake Xolotlan), and sparkling volcanic lagoons such as Asososca, Xiloa and Apoyeque surround the city. Lagoon Tiscapa is in the center of Managua. Behind the city is the Momotombo Volcano witch still belches an occasional puff of white smoke. |
