  Description

  Welcome!
  
  We are a permaculture farm and hospitality project located on the beautiful Island of Ometepe, Nicaragua. Our project is designed to promote sustainable living and create a harmonious relationship between humans and nature.
  
  Ometepe is located in the middle of lake Cocibolca, and thanks to its twin volcanoes Concepcion and Maderas it is a biodiversity reserve. This wonderful paradise island is a great place to live adventure in the jungle, see howler monkeys, socialize, connect with nature – and most of all connecting back to yourself.
