Tips from locals
A 10-minute drive from MetroCentro Mall, this site has an interesting history. More recently, the hilltop has housed the presidential palace for more than four decades. In addition, there were also prisons and torture rooms present that were used during the dictatorial regime of the Somoza family. The palace and some military installations were destroyed during the earthquake of 1972. After Somoza was ousted the site has served several purposes. A huge statue of General Augusto C. Sandino, which is visible from far, was also constructed. Lagoon Canopy Tours are no longer available, unfortunately.
