This incredible island is located inside Lake Nicaragua, and is formed by two volcanoes, Concepción 4,430 feet (1610 mt) above sea level, and Maderas 3,833 feet (1,394 mt).

Moyogalpa the main city and port, is 25 miles (43 km) south of Granada. Aboard the Hydrofoils, the trip takes only 50 minutes. The presence of the volcanoes is constant as life circles around these two colossus. The Concepción is a dormant volcano, while the Maderas is extinct and covered by a deep cloud forest and a lagoon on the top of the crater. The island used to be a ceremonial place for ancient Indians. Many petroglyphs and stone idols are found in different archaeological sites and in the town of Altagracia as well. The tour follows the road around both volcanoes and along the narrow strip that connects them.

Ometepe is a soft adventure tour. The itinerary provides a total blending with nature from the moment you leave Granada, through the lake and throughout the entire expedition. Groups will enjoy lunch in Santo Domingo beach.
The Hydrofoil service operates only on Saturdays and Sundays. The rest of the week boat service is available in San Jorge (1:30 hour from Managua).
