Homestay in Ometepe

Two-day community activity to live with a local family in Ometepe. Includes cooking class, meals, and homestay accommodation.

The famous travel chef Anthony Bourdain said, “If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.” We agree with him, except on the age restriction. We urge you to be hungry for knowledge, no matter your age or physical condition. We offer a unique chance to share unforgettable moments with the local community of Ometepe. Cook, live, and sleep like a local with this two-day homestay tour.
