Mérida is a small village in the west of the island of Ometepe in southwestern Nicaragua with a population of around 1.000. The chilled place is located at the foot of the Maderas volcano and is predominantly agricultural; coffee and banana cultivation traditionally play an important role. Like the whole island of Ometepe, Mérida was already settled by indigenous groups in pre-Hispanic times, as evidenced by petroglyphs and archaeological finds in the surrounding area. Today, the village is best known for nature-based tourism, and it is the starting point for hikes to the Maderas volcano, waterfalls such as San Ramón, and viewpoints and swimming spots on Lake Nicaragua. Of course, you can also find beautiful urban artworks in the streets. The photos were taken by MELITTA HORVATH.
