Worth agreeing on before you meet

Respect the Island

Ometepe is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Treat the environment with care — pack out all rubbish, stay on marked trails, and do not disturb wildlife. The monkeys and birds are wild animals, not tourist attractions.

Support the Community

Ometepe is one of the poorest regions in Nicaragua. Stay at locally-owned fincas and guesthouses, eat at family comedores, and hire local guides. Your spending directly supports island families.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Ometepe Island travel guide.
