Que para eso hay entienda mi amigo de verdad qué lugares más bonitos los que que tiene Nicaragua verdad es algo espectacular algún día vamos a andar por allá
Ometepe is such a special place... unique! Dual volcanic island inside a freshwater lake with sharks -- Unreal! The place where you stayed looks amazing and totally my vibe 😍 Taking notes! Cheers!
@Sarong Goddess - no we spent Samana Santa in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica which was indeed a little but crazy. There was actually barely anyone in Ometepe when we were there, though it was in 2021 so travel was still reasonably limited.
@Joel M. yes we booked ahead of time, although only 24-48 hours ahead. There aren't a huge amount of foreign tourists in Ometepe at the moment but apparently a lot more locals so probably with booking ahead.
Hey mate, nice to see you enjoying Ometepe island. BTW, how you managed to get in Nicaragua from CR? I mean, did Nicaragua ask you for PCR COVID19 test?
@Miguel Wheelock - yep it was an action packed few days in Ometepe! We actually left CR for Nicaragua a few days after the land border opened. We had to get a PCR test to cross into Nicaragua, they are pretty strict about it. They checked it about 4 times along the border so there's no way you can get through without one (this was about a month ago but can't imagine things would have changed much).
@Rolex - we just organised it before the ferry at San Jorge. Probably didn't get the best price but it did mean that there was someone waiting for us in Ometepe with the scooter. Was actually a good call because the ferry was crazy. There's little rental/tour operator stands as you walk towards the ferry (through the gate) at San Jorge.
Que bellas vistas, excelente video. Bienvenidos siempre!!!!!
Some of my best travel experiences were there. A wonderful time can be had there.
Love Ometepe. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks for taking us along.
@Lance and Shelley Peters-en hope you can get back there soon!

@Daniel pineda - si vas a Ometepe, definitivamente sube al volcán, y va a Ojo de Agua
The island looks like a kind of Jurassic Park scenery,great video Sparrows!.I cannot forget the sunset at Volcan Masaya,truly magical!
@Henry Steppel definitely the top of Maderas volcano is very Jurassic park esque! Swampy rainforest / cloudforest type terrain

@ejnava01 it is indeed. If you do go there then yes, I would recommend staying at Hotel la Omaja.
I did read about the bull sharks in the lake!
We’ll done. We love Ometepe.
I'm curious when you were there - perhaps around Samana Santa/Easter?? That & Christmas/New Years are the MOST INSANE times to go!!!

Nicaragua beautiful place🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮
@andres Federica Ruiz chabbaria - and diverse!
Did you book Hotel La Omaja ahead of time or did you book when you got there?
@Joel M. yes we booked ahead of time, although only 24-48 hours ahead. There aren't a huge amount of foreign tourists in Ometepe at the moment but apparently a lot more locals so probably with booking ahead.
good

Where to rent scooter there?
