Isla de Ometepe, Nicaragua

March 9, 2010 | Category: Photos

Volcán Madera, one of the two volcanos that created the Island of Ometepe.

In the centre of the massive Lake Nicaragua, Isla de Ometepe is a must see stop on any trip through Nicaragua.

Breathtaking hikes up and around the volcanos, lush forests and a huge array of wildlife make the island a haven for ecotourists.

The waters surrounding the island are also said to be filled with the world’s only freshwater bull sharks. Locals and tourists all have differing opinions on the number of sharks in the lake but most seem to agree that there are very few and a sighting is rare.
