Puesta Del Sol
Puesta del Sol is an organization on Ometepe Island, run by women representing 17 families in the community of La Paloma.
Most of its members are engaged in traditional agricultural activities. Today, they offer tourism services as an alternative means of community development while encouraging sustainability and environmental conservation.
Below are some images from my time on the island.

We attended a community cooking class where we learned to make Nacatamals, a traditional Nicaraguan dish.

Meet Julian. Julian lives at Puesta Del Sol with one of the local families.
