Ometepe is an amazing island in a giant lake made up of 2 volcanoes connected by an isthmus. Pretty much all dirt roads and jungle.
We left around 9 and walked 3km down the dirt/rock road to the entrance of a hike to the San Ramon waterfall that was a 45 degree angle the whole time. It was another brutal 3km in the hot sun but so worth it at the end. It took us about 3 hours to finally get there but as soon as we did, we ripped off our clothes and shoes and jumped into the little lagoon at the bottom of the falls. The water was freezing but it felt amazing. We stood under the falling water and climbed on the rocks underneath it. It was freaking awesome. We sat on rocks in the sun to warm up and dry off before heading back down at double the speed from the way up. By the time we got back at 230, we were starving, I thought I was going to pass out from hunger. We ate some delicious chicken and plantains and went for a sunset swim off the dock at our hostel. The views here are gorgeous; humongous volcano to the right, massive lake in front of you with a sunset that looks like its at the end of the world on the calm water. This island is fantastic.
