Nicaraguan Paradise: Adventure on Ometepe Island

[XxxGASHxxX]

By the way... Yes, It has Bull Sharks living there. lol. Bull sharks are able to tolerate fresh water. And this not only happens in Lake Nicaragua. There are some rivers in other countries as well, Such as Sambesi River in Africa. But in this lake is the only PERMANET group registered. Local fishermen say sharks number have decreased dramatically in the past decade

Some interesting facts are that the Lake Nicaragua is the second largest in America. Just after Lake Titicaca. And Isla de Ometepe is the largest island within a lake.

This makes mi feel proud of being Nicaraguan. Uhmmm Some of you were asking if human feces in Lake Nicaragua.. Let me try to explain it. We have 2 large lakes. Xolotlán (known as Lake Managua) and Cocibolca (Lake Nicaragua), being the second one the largest and the one where Isla de Ometepe is located. Lake Managua or Xolotlan is the one which is polluted with human feces... Although The great lake is also being contaminated by the population.

oh hey i forgot to give you a warning and advice that you may already know of. nicaragua is the only country that has lake fresh water breathing sharks. so when you go be cautious of this. there may be sharks in some of the lakes you visit. just wanted to let you know and give you an early warning =)

Hey thanks for visiting...your parents homeland is very beautiful! I was aware of the Bull Sharks that swim up-river into Lago de Nicaragua via the river that empties into the Carribean. Good thing I didn't see any! ;)

hi i was born here in the states but i am nicaraguan. both my parents are nicaraguan and they're both survivors of the long war there. because of that those beaches have more meaning to them which is why i like the description you left about contras vs sandinistas. ive only been there once when i was about 7 years old. i did go see some of the beaches and i will never forget them. i want to go back one day. tnx for the video.

Thank you for giving me the chance in letting me see my country i haven't been able to go back since i left, This gave me a chance to remember how beautiful my country is. Thank you for the video.

I was there as well and the largest volcano erupted back in August 2005 while my ferry was heading to the island from Rivas.

We were there in late August 2005...just after the eruption you were mentioning. It was still rumbling & spewing ash when we were there. Beautiful place..isn't it!?
