El Zopilote Farm:

El Zopilote Farm places a strong emphasis on community and social interaction, welcoming visitors from various backgrounds to contribute their talents and energy to the space. The farm serves as a meeting point for individuals of different nationalities, genders, and languages, creating a rich tapestry of cultural exchange and collaboration. This diverse mix of people adds to the farm’s vibrancy and serves as a source of inspiration, believing that the interaction of different cultures leads to long-lasting and meaningful connections. By fostering a sense of community through the gathering of travelers and volunteers, El Zopilote Farm not only enriches the experiences of those who visit but also contributes to the positive social and material development of the island of Ometepe.

Moreover, the farm’s commitment to the local economy is evident in its employment of over thirty workers from surrounding villages and its procurement of goods from local markets. By supporting the local community through job creation and economic activity, El Zopilote Farm actively participates in the growth and sustainability of the region. This dedication to bolstering the local economy extends to the farm’s restaurant and cultivations, which prioritize fresh local products and engagement with local people. Through these efforts, El Zopilote Farm not only provides accessible accommodation for visitors of all budgets but also fosters an environment where the relationships cultivated and the fruits grown contribute to the overall richness and prosperity of the territory.
