Charco Verde



On the recommendation of a friend we headed to a hospedaje in Charco Verde for some more relaxation.


The hospedaje (the family lived downstairs, guestrooms are upstairs). There are tables/chairs and hammocks under little grass roofs near the lake for eating & relaxing.


It was a beautiful place right on the water, facing west for great sunsets. At night we could hear howler monkeys in the forest just behind the house and knew we were in a place that has not been destroyed by progress...something very unique in this world of ours.


Cows wandering along the lakeshore.

The beautiful sunset.


There was also nice hiking and swimming. Charco Verde was the perfect ending to our unexpectedly wonderful experience in Ometepe. We hope for this island a wonderful future in which the people continue to protect their land and control the speed of the inevitable progress to come.
