Calle Principal, 300 metros al sur (al oeste de Balgüe), 48800 Balgue, Nicaragua – Good location – show map
After booking, all of the property’s details, including telephone and address, are provided in your booking confirmation and your account.
A pearl in nature, allowing city dwellers to get a tiny bite of the jungle/farm. Self sustainable with energy, serving own produce - big thumbs up. wouw. Beware that a place being in a somewhat better balance with surrounding nature, has basic bathroom facilities. We just found it perfect.

United States of AmericaLoved the nature and atmosphere! Very relax with plenty to do! Meet new people, try the delicious food and drink, and climb the lookout on the hilltop by day or night! Also, the free workshops and events were amazing (full moon party, pizza night, kirtan bonfire, yoga, and tantra workshop)!

Costa RicaRelaxed hostel on a working permaculture farm. The secluded location makes it very peaceful and chill. It's a very unique experience - I don't think there's anything else quite like it on Ometepe.

New ZealandIt's an amazing jungle stay. Food is healthy and cheap, every day there's activities (breathwork blew my mind). This is not a hostel that you stay at just to have accomodation, staying at El Zopilote is an experience in itself.
