Ruben Dario Cultural Route

 

This cultural route was created with the aim to promote the knowledge of the life and work of our most distinguished poet, Rubén Darío. We will visit monuments to Darío in the city of Managua, as well as travel to Leon to see the house he was born, the Museum, the archives and his world famous tomb, the latter located in Leon's Cathedral, as well as visit the San Jacinto hot springs.

 

The Ruben Dario Museum is located in Leon in the home where the most famous Nicaraguan poet spent his childhood and returned to die. Ruben Dario was not only recognized as a poet, but as a diplomat to his country and as a successful journalist. The Ruben Dario Museum is not only a favorite attraction in Nicaragua for tourists, but locals also visit to be reminded of the genius that once walked amongst them.

 

 

 

The Ruben Dario Museum has exhibits that include his very first handwritten poem and other written works, his bible, photographs, as well as most of his furniture.

 

 

He will always be remembered as the leader of Modernismo, a literary movement, and his poetry that changed the face of poetry forever through his vision, implementation of rhythm and fearless experimentation of language.
