Map and direction

The project is located on an island named Isla Los Brasiles. It is close to the village of Poneloya, 20 Minutes away from the beautiful colonial town of Leòn in Nicaragua.

Leòn, Nicaragua

To get there you can either take public transportation or we can arrange a taxi to pick you up from anywhere in Nicaragua. From Leòn it will cost you $10 and from Managua's airport $65 (Prices per taxi, maximum 4 people).

By public transportation: From Managua’s airport, you need to take a shared taxi to get to the UCA bus station (about $5 per person). From the bus station, ask for a microbus (interlocal) to get to Leòn (fixed price of +/- $4 and takes around 1.5 hours).

From Leòn, take a taxi to get to the Mercadito (around $1, it is not the main bus station). From there you take the bus to Poneloya/Las Penitas (around 50 cents). You go down on the last stop in Poneloya (when the bus makes a U-turn and you can see a lot of restaurants). You walk up the hill and turn left. You walk getting to the last restaurant on your left called Chepe’s bar.

From there everybody takes a boat to get to the Island ($1/person). You can ask the boat driver to call the ecolodge, and our local driver can come and pick you up with a horse cart ($5 per cart) or you can walk to the project. (about 2 km total), follow the signs and pass the first lodge. Keep walking a kilometer and you will find us on your left. Look for the sign!

Don’t worry - it seems harder than it is! We just tried to give you as much information as we can. Once you get here you`ll never want to leave again!
