Excursion to Ometepe Island
Description
At 8 am, we'll pick you up in Managua and embark on a 2-hour minibus journey to San Jorge, where we'll catch a ferry to the freshwater island of Ometepe. Prepare to be amazed by the vastness of Lake Nicaragua, once referred to as "the sea of fresh water" by Spanish conquistadors!
Upon arrival, we'll venture to the Chaco Verde Nature Reserve, known for its diverse fauna and flora, including the lively congo monkeys. We'll explore the natural beauty of this reserve until around 1 pm, when we'll give you some free time to have lunch at one of the park's restaurants.
Afterward, we'll visit the Ojo de Agua pools, where you can enjoy a relaxing swim in volcanic waters. We'll also have the opportunity to explore the impressive collection of pre-Columbian artifacts at the El Ceibo Museum.
To conclude the excursion, we'll return to the ferry and make our way back to Managua in the minibus. You can expect to arrive at your hotel at around 7 pm.
