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 .

Everything was amazing. The place is so magical, right in the jungle. The food is super healthy and delicious. This hostel is a perfect place to heal yourself and discover more about yourself. You can join so many interesting workshops every day, join a yoga class every day.. My heart just fell for this place :)

Set in Santa Cruz, Raindance features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.7 km from Santo Domingo Beach.

Every room includes a private bathroom and a shower, and certain units at the hostel have a terrace.

Out of all my years travelling, I’ve never found somewhere that has ticked literally every box. It’s so clear that the owners have spent many years backpacking as everything has been thought of from a back packers perspective. As well as amenities, the vibe is so goooood. The chilled nights are chilled and the party nights are banging. The music and food, the staff, the location, everything! Thank you soooo much to Charlie, Styx and the gang for looking after me and attending to my every need. I’m so gutted I had to eventually leave. Love and appreciate you guys! May we meet again! I reccomend rain dance to everyone.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    This hostel was amazing! It brought healthy living & eating with that touch of conscious & spiritual community (singing circle) vibe. What an incredible place to stay. I will definitely come back to stay here when I come back to Ometepe. The staff, food, and cacao were incredible!

    Off the grid, welcoming Hostel. Once you walk the 5min path in the jungle, you arrive in the most charming place. I loved the vibe here. The staff is very helping and welcoming. Very good vibe among the guests. Plenty of workshops to keep yourself busy everyday. The sunset from the mirador is beautiful. I’ll be back <3

    Really social hostel, there were lots of activities every day organised by the volunteers, including free yoga every morning. The Pizza night was very popular and the food at the restaurant was delicious and healthy. The permaculture farm was cool, there were fruit trees everywhere and the hostel is very eco friendly with compost toilets.
