El Zopilote is a farm in  Isla de Ometepe inspired by the principles of Permaculture and at the same time a hostel and guest house. In both fields, a lot of work is necessary to run, maintain and develop the project so volunteers are more than welcome. There is always so much to do that the opportunities for all kinds of volunteer work are not lacking. To name a few:

• Manager on pizza nights,
• manager of the organic shop,
• gardener,
• yoga teacher, and runner.

By participating in the project you will enrich us with your experience and ideas while at the same time acquiring new capacities and skills for yourself. We are maybe the hostel/farm that employs more volunteers in Nicaragua… sometimes we are more than 15 people, so you can easily understand that volunteers are very important for us!

Free food and free accommodation volunteering (minimum 2 months stay)

If you are interested the best way to work here is to show up at the reception desk within 2 months’ time and speak with the volunteer coordinator, because we really prefer to speak with the people in person (not by email or Skype). Is essential for the aspiring volunteers to see in person the place where is going to live for 2 months and if we fit together. We apologize but we can not reserve a position for volunteering, so the only way is to come here personally to reception.

More information about the farm El Zopilote.

El Zopilote is an Organic farm/Hostel situated on Ometepe island, Nicaragua, Central America.  We started as a family business in 2002 when Bruno and his sons Cristiano and Daniele bought the first piece of land, which is now part of the Farm. The father and son had travelled extensively beforehand. During these travels, they had started dreaming of creating a space for travellers that would be functional, productive and respectful of the natural environment. Eventually, in 2001 the family reunited in South America and started searching for some land where they could put into practice their dreams.  In this beautiful and fertile land, the team spent the first five months building huts, installing an irrigation system and planting the first plants. 

Many volunteers have provided support to the project over the years and we are always welcoming travellers and volunteers who would like to participate.
