Itinerary

Tour Itinerary

Punta Jesus Maria is the most western point of Ometepe 30 minutes

Punta Jesus Maria is the most western point of Ometepe. A narrow strip of sand stretches out into Lake Nicaragua, which can reach as far as 1 kilometer into the lake during the dry season. You can walk on this strip of sand, with water splashing in from both the left and the right. During the rainy season, however, the water level of the lake rises and this strip of sand can disappear.

The natural reserve Charco Verde is a protected... 1 hour

The natural reserve Charco Verde is a protected area located between the two volcanoes of Ometepe, at the bottom part of the island. The area encompasses a lagoon, forest, and a beach. The lagoon is called Laguna Verde (Green Lagoon) and it is closed off from the lake by only a thin strip of land. The lagoon provides a shelter place for many birds. The beach of Charco Verde is one of the best beaches on Ometepe. The quiet and rather private beach called Bancon is perfect for swimming and relaxing. You can hike through the forest to this beach and back to the entrance of the reserve, which will take around one hour if you do not stop at the beach. During the hike, you can enjoy nature and you can also observe the mainland which is visible on the horizon from this side of the island.

Imagine a place where you could relax under... 2 hours

Imagine a place where you could relax under the shade of the tropical forest and bathe in volcanic water, sipping coconut water. This amazing place exists in Ometepe and is called the Ojo de Agua! The Ojo de Agua is located in the community of Santo Domingo, in the municipality of Altagracia, Ometepe Island. The water from this natural pool, known under the name of Ojo de Agua, comes directly from the Concepción Volcano. Because it is volcanic water, it is very rich in potassium, magnesium, calcium, sulfur, and sodium. All those chemical components have properties that help diminishing fever, muscular pain, stress, some allergies, and some people say that they even help rejuvenate!

Embark on a serene journey to Playa Mango,... 1 hour

Embark on a serene journey to Playa Mango, a hidden gem on the breathtaking Ometepe Island. Nestled along the island's tranquil western shore, Playa Mango offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, relaxation, and authentic Nicaraguan culture.
