Y también aquí tienen la mapa de Ometepe. Oh, we have a pool? Mira eso. Oh, I thought it was just a small hotel, but they have a pool. Oh, dude. Tonight, just dive in here. The best part about Nicaragua is because of how hot it is, if you have a pool at your hotel, you should definitely go in dip at night. At night is the best. Super relaxing. All right. Let's keep going. Because now we're not going to see anything. We're going to fly. Vamos, vamos. Dude, what is this? Es un pequeño aeropuerto en medio de la isla. Pero, de verdad? Of course. Yeah? It's an airport. It's an airport like this? This is the landing strip? Water there? The street goes through the landing strip? Yeah. I don't know. So this airstrip doesn't work anymore, there's no flights coming in, but it's a really amazing place though. Look at this. Little view behind me. Concepción, right? Yeah. Concepción ahí. Incredible. You've got the volcano. At the very other end, you have the lake, Lake Nicaragua, right there. So beautiful. Amazing. Right here. Airstrip. You just drive through it. Qué locura. Sí. Está buenísimo. Amazing. That was so cool. It's freaking amazing, huh? Well, they're doing some construction here, so you're going through a dirt road to get to La Punta, no? Uh-huh. La Punta. Alright, we're here in La Punta. We have some fruit vendors. ¿Qué tenemos ahí? Mangos. Piña. Todo. ¿Cómo estás? ¿Todo bien? Todo bien. Mira eso. ¿Cuánto es? ¿Quieres uno? Dame dos. Para mi amigo. Dale. Pa' ti, pa' ti. Estamos preparando un poquito de agua. ¿Está frío? Estamos haciendo el hoyito. Preparándoselo. Tenemos manguitos maduros, guayabitas. Gracias, amigo. Gracias. Alright, ready? Oh my gosh. It's too good. Oh, man. It's so sweet. Sí. Está bueno, ¿no? Yes, of course. Y rápido. I'll eat this soon. ¿Me lo abres? Porfa. I need a tender coconut. Tender coconut's the best. Son monos. No way. There's monkeys up here. Salud, girl. ¿Te lo ves? Es que no lo veo. Muy pequeño. Así. Limpio, limpio. Mmm. ¿Quieres un poco? The flesh. Mmm. So meaty. So filling. Super healthy. Amigo. Gracias. Háblame. You must stop there and get some tender coconut. Drink the coconut. Tender coconut. They also have mangoes with salt and chili. Really nice stuff, but that's the best. The healthiest. Feel the wind. Yeah, the wind. This is it. Beautiful black beach. As you can see at the very end, it's like a peninsula, right? Yeah. So you're surrounded by water. Water over here. On Lake Nicaragua. And the sunsets in this point are amazing. For a picture, for romantic. One of my favorite places on the island. Yeah? Right here? Yes, yes, yes. I mean, it's amazing walking out here. Look at this. Peaceful. You have the waves. You have mountains. So over there, that's east. So the sun sets that way. Yeah, right? Yeah. It's amazing. The best thing to do here is to walk all the way to the very, very end. From there, we get a view of both volcanoes. We made it here to the tip. Concepción, Madera, beautiful day. The difference over here, a lot more wind. A lot more waves. Over here, peaceful. Look at this. Nothing. Tranquility. Gorgeous. So now we're going to walk back and we're going to see a craft vendor make some necklaces and some earrings. Let's go. Wow. This is stunning. Look at this beauty. This is why you come here. The land of lakes and volcanoes. Hello. How are you? Great. What are we doing here? A little bit of everything. Yes. Can I see? Yes. Here we're going to make a treble of 400. Right now we're working on bronze because it's in high demand. We put what we have. Yes, yes, yes. Exactly. Always. To win, right? Yes, yes. How much does a bracelet like this cost? Like this one, 400. But there are cheaper ones that cost 150 or 200. So this one, I love it. This is a bronze bracelet. It costs 400, so roughly 12 dollars. He's working with bronze and silver. What he does a lot of is a spiral design. The reason for that is that's the map of Ometepe, right? So it's two volcanoes. So it's like a swirl, right? So he has this beautiful turtle. So 500 for that one, roughly 18 dollars. Buy a gift, remember the island, and support the community. I never wear jewelry. I wear the Apple Watch and that's it. But, it's been a while, but this time I'm going to buy something. I'm going to buy this beautiful turtle. So it's a necklace, right? Really nice. Macrame. There. What do you guys think? Does it look good? Yes. I'm going to take... You said 200 for these, right? Yes. I like these. Give me two of these. I have them in plastic. Give me bronze, give me bronze. Yes, yes, it's fine. Because it's the same, right? What are you buying? Sorry, what's your name? So Roger Martinez. Roger Martinez come to his shop. So he has so many cool things. I actually bought a bracelet. I never wear bracelets, but this one's amazing. Love it because it matches the tattoos. And it's obviously the volcanoes of the island. I also got the turtle. You got two bracelets. I got two earrings for my daughters. And it's $1,090, but he's giving me a deal, so $1,000, right? But you're talking about bronze. You're talking about silver. I mean, super good material. And he took like a day or two. One day for this. Thank you, amigo. Well, that was our morning, guys. Moyo Galpa. Street food in Moyo Galpa. Tortilla with cheese. We had enchilada in a bag.
