Ojo de Agua

Ojo de Agua is a natural spring reserve on Ometepe Island in Nicaragua where mineral-rich water flows continuously from an underground river originating beneath Volcano Maderas. This water fills two connected swimming pools with cement borders that visitors can use for bathing.

The natural spring has served as a water source for Ometepe Island residents for generations and shaped how the land was used over time. Structured pools and facilities were eventually built to make the spring more accessible to the surrounding community.

Local people value the spring as a bathing spot and gathering place where the mineral-rich water has been used for wellness and daily routines for many generations.

The grounds are accessible and offer space for swimming and resting in the open air. Bring swimwear, towels, and drinking water since the area is exposed to sun and heat throughout the day.

The water maintains a steady temperature year-round and is enriched with minerals including potassium, magnesium, calcium, sulfur, and sodium that originate from volcanic sources beneath the island. This mineral composition sets it apart from ordinary spring water found elsewhere.
