Angela and I have spent the last week or so lounging on the beach in Jiquilillo. We stayed at Rancho Esperanza, a great little spot right on the water. Jiquilillo is a small fishing village with just a couple of places to stay. Tourism is growing there but it's still very undeveloped. We spent most of our time reading in one of the many hammocks around the property. When we did make it down to the beach we got a little better at surfing and a lot better at falling off the board into the water. Rancho Esperanza uses volunteers to help with a number of community projects including a kids club, organic garden, and other sustainable community development projects. I was very impressed with the commitment and ethical standards that the owner-operator was employing to develop sustainable tourism in the community.
We went on a canopy zip-line tour today which was a lot of fun. Great views of the lake and volcanoes from up there. Tomorrow we are headed off to Isla de Ometepe.
