We, my nicaraguan wife and I (German), worked lots of years in the tourism sector in Costa Rica. We were responsable for a small hotel on the caribian side. So we have lots of expirience how to handle clients who spend their hard earned money for their vacation and expect to get the best service.The farm, which is located in Cuaquiniquil, Punta Cangreja, Municipality Cárdenas, Department Rivas, Nicaragua we bought in July 2006.After some changes of the former house of the employees we opened the bar / restaurant „Blue Morpho“ on 15th of September 2009. In the municipality of Cárdenas it is also known as “Mariposa Azul“.The name of the place „Blue Morpho“ we chose because the blue butterfly which scientific name is “Morpho Menelaus” you can´t find it everywhere. For example in the municipality of Cárdenas you will find them only in the sector of Cuajinicuil.Nearly an unknown game in Nicaragua—Mini golf. On 13th of June 2010 we opened the Mini golf course. The mini golf course contains of 9 tracks which are not only an easy game. Every track has some useful information about the municipality of Cárdenas and Nicaragua and some more tourist information which every national and international tourist should know.In 2012 the construction of the first 5 rooms was finished to start operation on1st of November 2012.The farm “Blue Morpho” has an area of 5 manzanas which are 3.5 Hectares. Former the farm was used for plantation of cafe, cacao and platano and at least for cattles. For those reasons there are still some cafe plants, trees of cacao and some special type of grass which was used for the alimentation of the cows and cattles.Since we bought the farm we are still in the process of eliminating that types of grass to plant fruit trees and tropical wood trees for reforestation and also we are planting once again cafe and banana trees to maintain the diversity of the plants and animals or if possible to increase their population.In the property there´s passing by a creek with a length of about 300 m. This has all over the year water. During the rainy season sometimes it´s impossible to cross the creek. That´s also the season when the fish Sabalo, a type of trout, enters the creek upstream for the reproduction.In the east there´s a plantation of about 50 Kaokaotrees and cafe plants, new planted Tamarindo, Guanábano, Bread tree and other fruit and tropical wood trees. Here and on the shore of the creek you could observe three kinds of monkeys (howler - / spider - and white face monkey) and the months February / March / April are the best to find sloth. Birds as Martin Pescador, Monte zuma Oropéndola, Crane, Toucan, Colibris and more you could see frequently.The main part of the hill is covered by reed, but we are still working in the reforestation.From the hill you could see a part of the island Ometepe (Vulcan Madera) and the islands of Zanata. The farm produces their own energy by solar panels and wind energy. The hot water is also produced by panels. The system was installed by Ing. Jairo Velásquez, ECAMI SA. from Managua. The water comes from a 21 m deep, hand digged weld. About 300 m from the farm there´s a public access where you can go to the white sandy beach of the Lake Nicaragua (lago cocibolca).
