A small green lake located in the northwest of the volcanic island of Ometepe. The lake and its little forest reserve are situated in the area of San Jose del Sur. “Charco Verde” could be most likely one of the best places in the island to enjoy a very close contact with wildlife including, howler monkeys, white throated magpie jays, flycatchers, kingfishers, egrets, herons, grackles, doves and vultures, as well as a variety of flora and different species of trees including kapoks, spiny cedars, elephant’s ear trees, ant trees and others.

The moderate walk through “Charco Verde” will also take you to outstanding vistas over the perfect active cone of Concepcion volcano as well as the extinct eroded cloud forest of Maderas. From different lookouts you will be able to admire the immensity of Lake Nicaragua.
