A Tale of Two Cities, León vs Granada
Round 1: León
Volcano hiking Cerro Negro
Cerro Negro is not only an active volcano, but it’s the youngest in Central America (it first appeared in 1850). A little baby volcano!
Old volcano crater of Cerro Negro. Its last eruption was in 1999.

I call it the “Mustard Church.” It’s officially known as Iglesia de la Recolección. It was stunning.

The three wise monkeys (“see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”) of our León hostel, Hostal Las Vacaciones.
-
- This is Mizaru. He covers his eyes, thus sees no evil.
-
- Kikazaru covers his ears and hears no evil.
-
- Iwazaru, covering his mouth, speaks no evil.
Beautiful hammocks within the hostel
-
- Catedral de la Asuncíon de María (Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary). There’s something about the “two faces” of the cathedral that captivates me.

- The painted and restored “face” of the largest cathedral in Central America.
