I AM Host in Isla Ometepe Rivas Nicaragua
Hostel La Gloria (Chamán Vida Hostel)

Description

Now I am hosting on Isla Ometepe We receive volunteers.
Chamán Vida.....Hello friends, we are Hostel Chaman Isla de Ometepe (San Ramón Mérida) very rural, basic and humble with the idea of becoming self-sustainable and ecological without losing the true essence of the place and that the community also benefits from our social aid programs (collection of garbage and recycling) that one of the biggest problems on the Island.
We are located in San Ramón Mérida Ometepe Island Nicaragua look for us on Google Maps Playa Chaman Nicaragua

We are in front of the lake where the sunsets are magical from where you can see the Concepción volcano and the Madeira volcano is our neighbor just 2km away from the property and 500 meters from the main entrance of the San Ramón waterfall (waterfall) where there are a pier. This is a very rural, very safe area far from normality and surrounded by nature, the property has 35,000 square meters, there are many fruit trees, lemon, orange, avocado, coconut, ginger, taro, banana, plantain, and others. It is a fertile land because it is of volcanic origin, many birds, White-faced monkeys and howler monkeys are our neighbors.

The Island is a very popular tourist destination for backpackers and tourists of all ages. It has many tourist attractions, such as hiking to the Ka Yak volcanoes, swimming in the lake or fishing, riding a bicycle, in the town there is rental of scooters and quad bikes ( This in Moyogalpa or Balgüe) and most importantly all the natural beauties that are around us and the magical sunsets.

Job Type: Jobs are organized by importance
The biggest of all is Garbage Collection (we will try to reuse most of the waste in constructions within the property).
Cleaning of surroundings of the property (and in the Community)
Organization and separation of usable materials and waste
Organization and construction of gardens (collection of local plants in the mountainous parts)
Basic Maintenance Painting and Construction
Construction and Maintenance of a Garden (part of being self-sustainable)
Construction of a Chicken Coop
Compost Construction
Crafts and Murals we are open to any project.
If you want to be part of our Family, invest in living 100% with us, we have our doors open to welcome new members to our new Chaman Vida community. For more information, contact chamanvida@outlook.com Jimmy Herrera Chaman Manager.

The property has 3.5 hectares and most of it is forest with a trail around it. We have a ranch, kitchen and living room. We have three bedrooms and a small cabin, all very basic. Don Andrés (the owner) lives on the property and his two children, Eitan, 7 years old, and Kener, 9 years old, are a single father who needs a lot of help.

Food: Basic rice beans bread coffee vegetables bananas any fruit or vegetables that are produced in their respective season on the property. There is a small store (convenience store) nearby 800 meters from the property and there are different street vendors with different products.
Accommodation: Single bed in shared accommodation (preferably last minute change availability). We have several rooms
Working hours: 5 hours per day 6 days per week day off Monday.
Minimum Stay 2 weeks (12 Days or more) we give priority to volunteers looking for long stays.

Information on how to get there: take the ferry in San Jorge Rivas to Moyogalpa schedule (https://ometepeislandinfo.com/es/Ferry-Schedule)
From Moyogalpa to the hostel there are 27km
Transportation options from Moyogalpa:
Taxi (negotiate price)
Bus (take the bus to San Ramón, it passes in front of the hotel)
Bus (take bus to Alta Gracia, get off at Quino https://maps.app.goo.gl/y9wrwvyn9CAkayuWA and transfer to another bus, the last stop is 1.5km from the hostel, you have to walk)
Rent Scooter Moto or Caudracilo(ATV) in Moyogalpa.
Ask for a ride (Good Luck).

The most important thing is to help Don Andres and his children not to lose their business because they are economically very bad. They are a very humble family, they live off what they have day by day. We hope to receive people who are open to enjoying the true culture, the true way of life. the families of the island with their wood stoves and their constructions we want volunteers who really want to experience and live in nature in a simple and basic way who value the true meaning of helping who want to learn and help the experience is acquired when there is interest learn....Thank you Total We hope to see you soon.

I am Jimmy, friend of the family and administrator of this new project. I am from Costa Rica. I am a builder for 25 years. I specialize in permaculture, bioconstruction and self-sustainability. I like to use most of the available resources. I am from a family of farmers and artisans where I learned a lot about organic agriculture. In my childhood I worked on several projects in Costa Rica Rincón de la Vieja Tamarindo Nosara Horquetas Sarapiqui advising on building and managing several places in very touristy areas. I have 6 years of experience working with volunteers from different websites. I like wild nature, music, playing with children as if I were a child. I am an open-minded person who likes challenges and I believe that living on the island is one of the basics and simplicity is better.
Pura vida and We hope to have many new experiences with the volunteers.
