Leon >> Las Peñitas

Getting from Leon to Las Penitas will cost you 100 cords per person by taxi, and only take about 20 minutes. Or, you can wait for the chicken bus that leaves from the bus terminal whenever it is full. The chicken bus is significantly cheaper–about a dollar

If you’re staying at Big Foot Hostel, they offer a $1usd return shuttle to the beach each day, $2usd if you are not a returning hostel guest. The shuttles leave at 10am and 12pm daily adn return at either 3pm or 7pm.

When coming back, you can hop on the chicken bus that comes through once in the morning and once in the afternoon, or catch a taxi on its way back to Leon and they will offer you a much cheaper fair than what they charge to take you there from Leon (20 cords).

Leon >> Granada

Go to the Leon bus depot — it’s a bit of a walk. Once there, get in the smaller white shuttles going to Managua — $2USD/51cordobas

The shuttle will take you to the UCA area of Managua where you can grab another of the same style shuttle straight to Granada central square for another $1USD/24cordobas

If you take a chicken bus from Leon to Granada you are not saving much on the fare and once you get into Leon you will have to either squeeze into an overpacked city bus to get to UCA, or pay over $3 a person for a taxi to the Granada shuttles.
