Welcome to Ometepe Island! Located in Lake Nicaragua, it was formed by 2 volcanos Concepcion and Maderas rising out of the lake!

We will spend three nights on this island at a hotel right on the lake with a perfect view of one of the volcanos. Included in our island stay are all breakfasts, dinners (at various hand-picked restaurants), your hotel stay, and transportation. We will be doing a walking tour at a place called Charco Verde, a butterfly conservatory with the chance to see real WILD monkeys! We will also check out hot springs called (Ojo de Agua) and swim in them. Also included is going to a cacao and chocolate farm, ziplining with an amazing view of the volcanos, and hiking Volcano Maderas where San Ramon Waterfall will be at the top waiting for you to take a swim! We will rotate through our favourite sunset locations to guarantee you will see the best sunsets possible on the island!

Laguna de Apoyo Day 8 x
From Granada, we will drive to Laguna de Apoyo! Despite being named “Laguna” de Apoyo, this lake is actually located in the center of a dormant volcano. The crater formed approximately 23,000 years ago from a strong volcanic explosion. Water slowly filled the crater over thousands of years to create the Laguna, while vegetation simultaneously began to return. Which means, you will quite literally be swimming in a volcano! We will spend the day here, swimming, tubing, kayaking and chilling! This hotel has beautiful “outdoor” showers that make you feel like you are in the jungle, because you are! We will eat dinner here and spend your final night here, listening to the monkeys and enjoying the ‘ magical powers’ this place has to offer. In the morning, we will have breakfast before driving approx 1hr to Managua Airport.
​
Included: Transportation from Laguna to airport + from Granada to Laguna. Breakfasts, dinners + use of tubes and kayaks. Hotel stay.
