NATIONAL BUS SERVICES FROM LEÓN
Most buses leave from León's chaotic
main bus terminal
( 2311-3909; 6a Calle NE, Palí, 1½km E) , which has a
fun market area nearby. Watch your wallet. For trips to Rota (Cerro Negro) note that Rota is 5km from the base of the
volcano. The San Isidro bus has connections to frequent Matagalpa and Estelí buses.
