Ometepe island Nicaragua

Ometepe Island, also known as Ōmetepētl, sits in the great Lake Nicaragua but belongs to the department of Rivas. It forms part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves thanks to its distinctive natural landscapes, shaped by a wide variety of plant and animal species. Certain parts of the island are strictly protected due to its Biosphere Reserve status, so economic activity is restricted to designated areas only. Ometepe Island is a strikingly diverse landscape, rich in natural beauty and calm, making it one of the best options for a relaxing break in Nicaragua.
