Nicaragua

Managua and Granada (for a day) 29th Sept - 1st Oct

As we had seen enough of San Jose and its fast food joints and given we had a few days spare we tried to make our way up the Latin American strip. Initially we would have loved to make it to Guatemala as we had heard such good travel stories about it from people we had m...

After leaving Granada, John and I made our way to Ometepe Island -- a very large island in the middle of Lake Nicaragua, formed by two volcanos. After settling into our hotel in one of the smaller towns on the island, John and I went for a walk in the nearby park of Chaco Verde. We hiked through a nice forest along the lake, and...

Zo....even bijpraten.

Na de corn islands zijn we in één dag doorgereisd naar Ometepe Island en hebben we ons genesteld in Santa Domingo bij hostel buena vista. Het zag er nog even naar uit dat we het niet gingen redden omdat er geen bus kwam....en het tevens enorm begon te regenen. Uiteindelijk kwam er toch nog een chickenbus en bereikte ...

Isla Ometepe is situated in Lake Nicaragua and is home to two of Nicaragua´s volcanoes, Volcan Conceptione and Volcan Maderas. We wanted to climb one. Had we known what we were in for we may have changed our minds.

Getting to Isla Ometepe meant getting a ferry from San Jorge to Moyogalpa, the main town on Ometepe. We arrived at San Jorge...

I'm
sitting here at gate 62, terminal 6 waiting for my flight to Managua. I
arrive into IAH at 5:30am where I then have to sit for a 3 hour layover
in my least favorite city of Houston. Then finally jet off to Nicaragua
and arrive in...

Grenada, Nicaragua


There was so much to do at Grenada including a crystal clear lake in
the creator of a volcano that everyone said I couldn’t leave without
seeing. But the people I had met were all leaving today and going to an
island in the middle of a giant lake. I was tired of...

The next day we all separated and Nils, his nephew and I traveled to Ometepe, Nicaragua. It's an island in Nicaragua Lake and consists of 2 huge volcanoes. It was interesting because Nils’s family lives there and that is where we all stayed. It was the first time experiencing something along the lines of 'Indigenous people’ it was co...

Marvin [Mar-bin], is a 34 year old native to Ometepe Island. He is poor, living in a shack with immediate and extended family, earning $45 per month - not enough for a proper marriage (or even a ring) after 12 years and two kids with his wife, an indigenous Honduran.

Sophie and I flirted with the idea of climbing Volcan Maderas unassiste...

After a quick bite to eat with my friend and protege from my internship this past year, Adriana Callejas, who drove me with some of her family to Granada from Managua, I was eager to get to know the colonial city that everyone had been telling me about. My body had different plans however as it decided to ground me in the hotel for four hours as...

Having reluctantly torn ourselves away from our paradise found, we made our way to Isla de Ometepe, which the LP describes as something from a fairytale, or words to that effect, and indeed it was quite lovely. I was just too worn out to appreciate it properly, though: seven months of burning the candle from every conceivable angle (late nights,...
