About Ometepe Island
Ometepe Island is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve shaped by two volcanoes rising from Lake Nicaragua. The island remains largely undeveloped and rural, with hiking trails up both volcanoes and pristine forest. The lake's freshwater offers swimming and kayaking, while the island's villages maintain traditional Nicaraguan culture.
