The island of Ometepe, set in the waters of Lake Nicaragua, was created by two volcanic eruptions. One of these volcanoes, called Concepcion, is an active stratovolcano and the setting for a full day of hiking on this tour. Learn about the local flora and fauna as you climb up the side of this volcano. With lunch included, you'll have the energy you need to reach the stunning view points near the top.

The experience starts by car for an hour. Then we will hike San Ramon waterfall located on the steep slopes of Ometepe Maderas Volcano, a refreshing swim in the waterfall’s pool is almost obligatory after two hours hike. The adventure continues on Istian River kayaking a marshy terrain on the western side of the isthmus between Maderas and Concepcion to see all kinds of wildlife such as birds, turtles, alligators, butterflies and monkeys. Our happy final ends on watching the sinking sunlight and clouds paint the sky with vibrant hues of pink, orange, and purple from Punta Jesus Maria, Playa Mangos, or Playa El Peru, the best spots to enjoy the beauty of a sunset, the last farewell kiss for the night to close this amazing tour.
