The first day moves you quickly into León, where narrow streets climb past ochre churches and the cathedral roof throws a wide view of a range of volcanoes. Over nine days the route reads like a compact primer to Nicaragua: an active volcanic slope to hike and board down, a crater lagoon to float in, an island of twin cones to explore, and a Pacific crescent beach that slows the pace to tide and sand.
