Sat, 04 Feb 2023 03:36:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.1.15 http://homeonthehighway.com/isla-ometepe-nicaragua/#comment-675 Sun, 27 May 2012 21:12:54 +0000 http://homeonthehighway.com/?p=3056#comment-675 […] We camped at the Volcano that night. Next morning we pushed off into Granada headed towards Isla Ometepe Isla Ometepe is an island in the middle of Lake Nicaragua, a HUGE fresh water lake, 2nd largest freshwater lake in the Western Hemisphere and largest freshwater island in the world. The lake is so big is has BULLSHARKS, tarpon, and snook living in it. All saltwater species. It also has 2 awesome volcanoes on it. One still active. You can drive on the island but you need to take a ferry to get there. We bought some tickets and found a palapa to chill under while we waited for go time. Loaded up Volcan Concepcion as seen from the road as we mash around on Isla Ometepe Main road/Airport runway. Dont get caught stalled out in the Runway when a plane comes to land We stayed at a coffee co-op called Finca Magdalena, 25 Nicaraguan families all work the farm together. They recently built a small hostel/campground/restaurant. $3 a day for camping and around $1.50 for meals. Place was awesome. Shot of the turn of the century processing house/hostel/restaurant Made some new friends at the Finca, We decided to hike to the top of Volcan Maderas together. The finca suggested we hire a guide but after our last guided death march up Volcan San Pedro we said No thanks and hit the trail solo.
