Ometepe Island
The twin volcanoes on Lake Nicaragua should be on every
visitor's list of things to do in Nicaragua. The islands are
situated midway between Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Visitors to the
islands can explore the volcanoes; hike though rain forests or
bargain with local coffee farmers who use the fertile Volcanic
slopes to grow the fragrant beans. The birds and wildlife on the
islands will delight nature lovers, while sports enthusiasts can
take part in kayaking and fishing tours around the island. For
those who brave the hike up the 3,300-foot (1,500m) summit of one
of the volcanoes, the views are unsurpassed. Visitors should set
aside a few days to explore the numerous natural attractions the
islands have to offer.
