El Pital is located almost directly between two volcanoes that make up the infinity-shaped island called Ometepe in Nicaragua. The Concepción volcano is active with fire, while the other one,  Maderas, has a crater lake that creates waterfalls and natural springs. The island of Ometepe is surrounded by a freshwater lake and is home to a tropical jungle. 

Our dream is to create high-quality experiences, either through a culinary adventure or a transformational journey, to offer a different perspective on your relationship with life, and assist the process of opening our hearts in creating a healthy, balanced, sustainable and abundant future by infusing everything that we do with unconditional love.

What does "Pital" mean? 

​

El Pital The chocolate paradise is named after the place itself!

The location was known to the locals as "El Pital" before it became the chocolate paradise it is now. It comes from a tall grass, a plant native to Ometepe that grows in the bay of El Pital called Pital.​

We hope you visit us and experience the magic that exists.
