Below we will explain the principal tourist destination of Ometepe Island:
The water from this natural pool, known under the name of Ojo de Agua, comes directly from the Concepción Volcano. Because it is volcanic water, it is very rich in potassium, magnesium, calcium, sulfur, and sodium. All those chemical components have properties that help diminish fever, muscular pain, stress, and some allergies, and some people say that they even help rejuvenate!
Continuing the road to Altagracia, you will pass by the natural reserve of Charco Verde located at kilometer 11. The reserve houses a hill, a lagoon separated from the lake by only a narrow strip of land, and spectacular flora and fauna. Furthermore, this area is famous throughout the whole Ometepe for its fascinating myths.
Punta Jesus Maria is the most western point of Ometepe. A narrow strip of sand stretches out into Lake Nicaragua, which can reach as far as 1 kilometer into the lake during the dry season. You can walk on this strip of sand, with water splashing in from both the left and the right. During the rainy season, however, the water level of the lake rises and this strip of sand can disappear.
Embark on a serene journey to Playa Mango, a hidden gem on the breathtaking Ometepe Island. Nestled along the island’s tranquil western shore, Playa Mango offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, relaxation, and authentic Nicaraguan culture. Guests staying overnight on the island will also enjoy the stunning Ometepe sunset over Lake Nicaragua — a perfect way to end the day.
