Finca Paraiso Ometepe

Finca Paraiso Ometepe is a natural hot spring feature on the island of Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua, the world's largest freshwater island formed by two active volcanoes — Concepción and Maderas — rising directly from Central America's largest lake, where oligomineral geothermal waters emerge on the slopes of Volcán Maderas and cascade as a hot waterfall into the lake or adjacent pools in one of Central America's most dramatic volcanic and freshwater environments. Ometepe, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and site of Pre-Columbian Nahua-Chorotega petroglyphs scattered across the island's volcanic landscape, offers visitors an integration of geothermal spring bathing with active volcano hiking, howler monkey encounters, and the living cultural heritage of the island's farming community. The extraordinary setting of a hot waterfall on a volcanic island in the middle of a vast freshwater lake, surrounded by jungle and overlooking the shimmering waters of Lake Nicaragua, makes Finca Paraiso one of Central America's most visually memorable natural thermal experiences.
