About El Zopilote

  • Hostel Room
    An affordable stay with shared facilities
  • Freebies
    This stay includes Wi-Fi for free
El Zopilote Permaculture Farm/hostel is a backpackers hostel and a permaculture farm at the same time. We offer various types of hospitality like private rooms, dormitories, camping areas and hammocks. We are in the Nicaraguan Ometepe Island, on the jungle slopes of the volcano Maderas 30km from the port town of Moyogalpa, between Santa Cruz and Balgue. All of the rooms are basic but cosy with shared compost toilets and shared showers. All beds have mosquito nets. Guests can enjoy the on-site farm to table restaurant which serves fair priced plates coming straight from the garden, open all day; and a pizzeria open every Tuesday and Saturday night from 6pm with fire shows, dancing, natural cocktails and fun. There is free WiFi in the restaurant area. We organise many activities like free yoga, permaculture courses, cacao ceremonies, volcanoes tours, massages, workshops and lots of other activities. Bring a flash light for the night, there are lights in all the huts but the footpaths that connect them have few lights to keep the habitat more natural.
