Omotepe Experiences
At Omotepe, we believe that traveling should be about immersing yourself in the the area you are visiting, not insulating ourselves in in a resort. Nicaragua is a beautiful, multifaceted Central American country with a vibrant culture. Nicaragua is home to volcanos, tropical rainforests, fascinating colonial cities, and epic coastlines. We partner with local tour guides, conservationists, and local community development groups to provide our guests opportunities to engage with the local environment, culture, and community.
Trips and Tours
Omotepe partners with local tour guides to offer guests a variety of trips and tours that combine adventure with education. Enjoy horseback riding on the beach, or Hike Mt. Concepcion Volcano with a local vulconologist. Go on cultural and culinary tours of the historic colonial city of Managua, or visit the nearby nature reserve with a local naturalist.
