Isla Ometepe, Moyogalpa

Island has so much to do. People friendly just watch out for the cattle and horses. Stayed in 3 different parts if the island. Taxi drivers will lie say buses are not running and over charge. Negotiate always.

Two volcanoes make up this island and you can take a ferry over and enjoy the island beauty and relaxed vibe. There are wild animals everywhere, including white faced monkeys and wild horses roaming the beaches. Not every beach is perfect to swim at, but every angle of the island is definitely beautiful. You can hike the volcanoes or simply find some beachside shade. But be warned, it's hot on Ometepe.

Make sure you spend at least 3 days on this fascinating island. Lots to do for kids and adults. Best area for accommodation and food is around the Balgue area. Island is big, plan your transport.

great beach but you have to rent a motor bike to get everywhere

An absolute must see while in Nicaragua! Our favorite town was Balgue, on the Maderas side of the island - great food options. Ojo de Agua and San Ramon Cascade are great options for activities, but there are also guided tour options to hike both volcanoes if you want.
