San Jacinto Mud Pits & Old León: A Journey Through Nature and History

Explore the bubbling mud pits of San Jacinto, where nature’s raw power comes alive with steaming geysers and churning earth. Learn tortilla-making with locals and immerse yourself in their traditions.

Step back in time at the ruins of Old León, the “American Pompeii,” founded in 1524 and abandoned in 1610, as you uncover the stories of the indigenous Imabite people and colonial history.

Take a stroll by the old Momotombo Port to admire Lake Managua and the iconic Momotombo Volcano. Then, refresh yourself with a swim in the crystal-clear Asososca Lagoon, a stunning volcanic crater lake.

Before returning to León, indulge in a traditional “quesillo” from a charming artisan town—a perfect end to your adventure.
