The bohemian city of Leon is my favourite cosmopolis in Nicaragua by some degree. Oozing history, this crumbing colonial place grows on you the longer you spend here and it’s a wonderful place for photography. Leon is central to Nicaragua’s left-wing political movements and has a strong affinity with the Sandinista movement. It was at the heart of the revolution in Nicaragua and lot’s of the grafiti here depicts this struggle. It’s time to head south now over the next few days and start to explore the forests and rivers of the Indio Maiz on a quest to find Pumas and Jaguars.
