Rancho Esperanza is a tranquil beach front eco-hostel - the perfect hub to bring together a community of worldwide travellers looking to escape, contemplate, surf or simply to unwind. However you choose to spend your time here, you will appreciate authentic Nicaraguan life at the beautiful beach setting of Jiquilillo, where you’ll be confident that your presence is doing no harm. At the Rancho we have an array of different sleeping options, from shared dormitory beds to private ocean view casitas. There is a large communal area where you can relax, interact with other travelers and enjoy some of the delicious locally sourced food from our restaurant (our menu is diverse and caters for dietary needs including vegan options). For the sunset or a morning swim or surf, you can make your way to the beachfront, which is just a few steps away. You will also be able to join in with some of our workshops and/or adventurous activities where you can learn some of the local trades and find out what the beautiful northern Nicaragua peninsula has to offer.
