Ometepe - Nicaragua

A new country in my collection, Nicaragua, written and stamped from there :D :D Thank you, thank you Kris!!

"Ometepe is an island formed by two volcanoes rising from Lake Nicaragua in the Republic of Nicaragua. Its name derives from the Nahuatl words ome (two) and tepetl (mountain), meaning two mountains.
The two volcanoes, Concepción and Maderas, are joined by a low isthmus to form one island in the shape of an hourglass." - in:
