Swim at Oyo de Agua

Ojo de Agua, Nicaragua

Description

Did you ever swim in a natural pool that is on an island swimming in another lake? Ojo de Agua is a great place to do exactly this in the middle of the forest.

Getting there is relatively easy. You can drive up to the parking with your car / motorbike or have the bus drop you off at the main road and walk the last mile.

You will need to pay 3$ per person at the entrance. Right afterwards you can dive into the pool, prove your balance on the slackline that spans over the pool or swing with the Tarzan rope into the water.

I suggest to get here in the morning as it can get crowded in the afternoon. Getting thirsty? Try out their cocount-rum-mix!

Hike to San Ramon Waterfall on Ometepe Island

San Ramon Waterfall is on Volcano Maderas on the south end of Ometepe. The trailhead starts off at a Biological reserve in San Ramon where you pay an entrance fee of $3/Person and can park your car. From there you take a long driveway up through a beautiful plantation and end up at a hydro-electric plant that the native people of the island use to capture energy from the river nearby. (If you h...

Relax at Laguna de Apoyo

30 minutes from Managua and 20 minutes from Granada, Laguna de Apoyo is a Nature Reserve in a volcano that imploded on itself, filling with water. As a result, it has turned into a thermally vented, clean lake made for swimming, kayaking, tubing, or just plain ol' relaxing.I recommend staying at The Monkey Hut, a hostel right on the water in the Nature Reserve. The name comes from the Howler ...

Summit the Masaya Volcano

The most memorable adventure of this truly unforgettable trip to Nicaragua was the day we hiked the Masaya Volcano. By truck or car, you have to ascend the steep incline of the mountains to get to the entrance to Masaya Volcano National Park. It is possible to hike up, but the hike is long and steep (the height of the volcano is just over 2,000 feet).All trails are guided. They vary in distance...

Catarata La Congreja

Seizing the opportunity to walk through Costa Rica's dry tropical forest eco system is well worth any effort getting to the park. You'll be greeted with little yellow butterflies, and have plenty of chances to spot various birds, bugs, reptiles, and mammals. Word of the wise, the trail seems pretty harmless, albeit occasionally strenuous, but try to stay present as often as you can. I absolutel...

Hike the Las Pailas Trail

Rincón de la Vieja offers an immense variety of scenery and wildlife. The trail, Las Pailas, twists around the base of the volcano through jungle, geysers and low-dry foothills. The cinder cone volcano, Rincón de la Vieja (6217 ft/1895 m), is the main attraction.From the ranger station, the trail plunges into the jungle. It will snake up and down (beware of lots of roots on the path) and bet...

Tube Down the Rio Celeste

The Rio Celeste in northern Costa Rica is most notably known for the famous Rio Celeste Waterfall in Tenorio Volcano National Park. The river has a distinctive turquoise blue color that makes it a popular tourist destination. The best way to experience this river is by tubing down the river through several kilometers of dense rainforest jungle. You are not allowed to swim in the river within...
