A True Eco Lodge On The Ometepe Island Of Nicaragua

By:


Nicaragua is home to the largest fresh water island in the world, it is called Ometepe. It is also the only island in the world that has two volcanoes on it. I always heard great things about the views and the natural beauty of the place so it was a destination I couldn't miss in my visit to Nicaragua.

But the part of the trip to this island that truly made an impact was our stay on an eco lodge that offers great food, a pool, an organic farm & a development center for the community.

My family and I have stayed in a few eco-lodges during our trips along Central America. But not all of them are truly eco-friendly because of the lack of regulation in these countries. The good news is that I learned that Totoco Lodge is eco through and through!

The rooms in this lodge consist on individual cabins with their own porch located on a garden with great view of the Nicaragua Lake. The place was so beautiful that we spent most of our time on the porch just relaxing & enjoying the view from a hammock.

I already mentioned the food, which was great & made of organic produce but the background & the view from the restaurant/reception also have to be mentioned. They are amazing!

How Eco Is Totoco?

1. All the cabins and the reception/restaurant area is run on 100% renewable energy (over 3Kw of Solar Panels)

2. 90% of the grey water is filtered and recycled

3. 100% water-free-composting toilets

4. Over 2000 trees have been planted and reforested

5. Use of local and renewable building materials only

In this eco lodge not once did we lack any form of comfort or amenity that other hotels offer. II highly recommend spending your time in Totoco Eco Lodge if you want some relaxation in the middle of nature as you support their programs.

My final opinion about the Eco Lodge was that it is a place where Luxury and Comfort come together with Natural Beauty.

It is essential that you are aware of what options you have when it comes to finding the right lodges where you can stay while you are on a vacation trip. The more amenities you can get from your accommodations, the better. It is best that you perform some research on what these options are and probably start booking your trip ahead of time.
