Moyogalpa Vacation Guide

Known by some as the Gateway to Ometepe, Moyogalpa may pop up on your list of travel destinations if you are planning a trip to Nicaragua soon. Moyogalpa is a municipality situated in the Rivas department of Nicaragua. It has great services and plenty of interesting legends, though many would not consider it to be ultimate travel destination in Nicaragua.

You can rent a car to get around in, or enter the jungle by way of horseback or boat. Guides will help you to explore the nearby volcanoes more safely while shops, bakeries, shoe shops and pharmacies provide you with all the basic services you could need. In the evening there are bars and canteens and you will find their beverages and food absolutely refreshing. Moyogalpa in Nicaragua is also very old and home to a great collection of ancient Nahuatl artifacts that have been found in Ometepe. Other things worth seeing are the parish church at the bottom of Main Street and the pier. However, the number-one attraction here has to be the near-perfect cone of the Concepcion Volcano. This slumbering giant has erupted several times over the centuries and now measures 1 610 meters in height

LEaving Arenal was no walk in the park...just to get to our destination we would suffer through 3 bus trips, 3 taxi trips and one boat ride. Getting from Arenal to the Nicaraguan border was a real hassle, as there is no public transport even remotely close, and no other alternative really...so we w…

Just look at the HorizonBy Christ, Lake Nicaragua is a choppy mother. As soon as we slipped the concrete harbour at San Jorge (and the attendent scary Nica policemen with Uzi's), we were buffeted by wind-driven waves for 45 minutes until we hit the lee-side of Isla de Ometepe. You might have a visi…
