Ometepe | Central American Adventure
Two vast, active volcanos rising out of a lake so huge, it feels more like an ocean. This was home for two nights, on the island of Ometepe, in Lake Nicaragua. The volcanos, Concepción and Maderas, are joined together by a small stretch of land, and you can just see the mainland on the horizon. Ometepe is an hour or two by ferry, and it’s quite something to see the volcanos towering out of the water like they do. We crossed mid-afternoon, and then only had a short drive to our hotel, Finca Venezia. The rooms are like small houses in the grounds, with views of palm trees and the beach outside – but there is the occasional power cut, as we had for the entirety of our first night! It lasted long enough for dinner at the hotel at least!
Our final stop was Ojo de Agua, a natural mineral springs. It wasn’t hot like some others we’ve been to, but it was full of good, healthy minerals to soak into my skin. The pool itself is like a big swimming pool, though the depth fluctuates a lot, and there was a swing and slack line to use. Floating through the water is a very pleasant way to spend a few hours! I also bought another coco loco, coconut milk mixed with white and dark rum, and what we think was condensed milk, then poured back into the coconut – delicious!
