Internet Now Available to Our Guests

Estación Biológica Laguna de Apoyo has space available for guests for day visits and overnight stay. Your stay with us will help to promote conservation of Lake Apoyo. We have kayaks available, and we are in front of the lake, for day or night swimming. We serve great home-cooked food and can fit vegetarians! Come and learn about tropical biology and conservation, and enjoy the beauty of Nicaragua's premier nature reserve!

The crater, a nationally designated protected area, is especially noted for the biodiversity encountered there. Nature lovers can take walks through the high-quality dry tropical forest near the school. The school grounds alone make for excellent birdwatching: the Turquoise-browed Motmot, Montezuma Oropendola, Collared Aracari, and the Black-headed Trogon can be seen often in the trees overhead. Iguanas, variegated squirrels, kinkajous, and many of Nicaragua’s 65 species of bats can be seen on the premises. Howler monkeys can be heard from the deeper forest nearby.

There is nothing better than a late-night swim under the moonlight in Laguna de Apoyo, or sharing a beer with our guests and scientists, on the deck of Estación Biológica! Come share and learn with us! Dorm space is available for only $10 per person, including a great breakfast of milk, granola, fresh fruits, eggs, gallo pinto, and certified, organic, Fair Trade coffee. We accept walkins or reservations.
