Puerto Momotombo Puerto Momotombo is a little village on the shore of the Managua Lake (or Lake Xolotlán). You will go there to visit the ruins of the old city of León and have superb views on the perfectly shaped Momotombo volcano. Rising 1297 meters high, Momotombo towers over Lago Xolotlan and its little brother, the island volcano Momotombito. On the south side of the volcano a large geothermal powerstation is producing a good deal of the country electricity. Momotombo began growing 4500 years ago and last erupted in 1905. Momotombo played an important role in history when, in 1625, it buried Nicaragua's former capital, the old city of León, under layers of volcanic ash.
