The summer season in Nicaragua starts
in the month of November until April, and is one of the best seasons for the
observation of birds. Many species of birds migrate from North America, looking
for better weather and food in tropical countries.
This wonderful experience of enjoying the
birds can be easily found in the environment around Jicaro Island Ecolodge. You can take walks,
take a boat tour or kayaking tour in the
vicinity of the hotel and find different species of resident and migratory
birds who have found a paradise in the
area of the islets of Granada. In the vicinity of Jicaro, you can observe:
Herons, osprey, cormorants, kingfishers, whistling - ducks, parakeet, among others that you can hear every morning or in the afternoon singing
happily on our little island.
Jicaro Island Ecolodge is committed to the support of the community
of Las Isletas de Granada. For this reason we started a pig farm project on one
of the neighboring islands. The long-term goal of this project is to produce
bio-gas for the family living on the island, so that they will be able to use
this gas for cooking. Once this project has been carried out successfully it
will be introduced on other Isletas as well, so that ultimately the firewood
consumption in the community will gradually decrease. So far our sustainability team helps the family by bringing over the food leftovers from the restaurant
to feed the pigs, so that no extra costs for food will have to be spent.
Next time you visit Jicaro Island Ecolodge you can learn and
experience more about this project by visiting our enchanting community.
