Other things to note WHY RENT FINCA OMETEPE-Experience a quiet farm off the beaten track in the tropical forest while still in close proximity to horse riding, hikes and beaches. Meet local Nicaraguans that work on the farm and that will make sure you have a memorable visit. Relish the wonderful views of the lake and the two volcanos. Enjoy the large balcony with an almost constant breeze that keeps the insects away. Wake up to the sound of monkeys, parrots, goats, and yes, a rooster. Pick your own snack from the tree on the farm. Eat it fresh or dry it for another day. Milk a goat or collect your own eggs. The house is 100% powered by renewable energy, sun and wind. We recycle and/or re-use everything-plastics, paper, and food scraps go either to the chickens, the goats (fruits), and the worm bin to make our organic fertilizer. We use no pesticides, so when we need to "fumigate" for pests, we use a spray made from garlic, onion, and chile peppers. We will let you know so you don't go downwind!
