OMETEPE

Spectacular hikes, inviting waterfalls, superb kayaking, and pre-columbian petroglyphs

Come for:​

• Spectacular hikes up the island's twin volcanic peaks (Volcán Concepción and Maderas)

• Beautiful natural springs, waterfalls, and lagoons as well as laid-back beaches

• Superb kayaking trips among abundant wildlife, highlighting by the howler monkey

• Pre-Colombian petroglyphs and stone carvings, scattered across the island

Do not expect:​

• Lots of nightlife and partying - Ometepe is relatively quiet in the evenings

• The volcanoes to be particularly active - you are better off heading to Masaya to see lava
