Nicaraguan tourism is captivating due to the diverse options available. Due to the demand from national and foreign visitors to explore El Perú beach and the Istíam River by kayak, entrepreneurs from the Kencho hotel in Altagracia, Ometepe Island, began offering this service in January 2018.
This sport has been well received by those who live and visit the Mérida community, a plus to the tour is the view obtained from the Maderas volcano, which is located at the southern end of the island, with 1 m above sea level.
The kayak tour lasts approximately two and a half hours or as long as the person seeking the adventure wishes. The hotel has 22 of these boats with capacity for about 32 people at the same time.
Prices vary depending on the time and route, “those interested can pay between 100 and 200 cordobas, everything is affordable,” says Crescencio Ruiz Oporta, owner of the Kencho hotel.
Kayaking is synonymous with exercise, adrenaline and tranquility, in the best of cases you overcome psychological obstacles.
