Conservation Done Differently

MEMANTA is a destination for people who want to experience a simpler way of life, think outside the box and get reconnected with nature.
MEMANTA is a place for wilderness lovers, adventurous folks, aspiring environmentalists, inspiration-seekers and curious minds.
People who stay with us contribute to on-going conservation efforts while being trained in preservation techniques, field research methods and cultural competence.

MEMANTA is a young-spirited business that initiated in 2019 and has grown ever since.
Our work focuses on sea turtle nest protection – with 150-200 nests being protected each season!
Besides that, our work area encompasses: varying sustainability projects, ecosystem & resource management, biodiversity enhancement, and environmental education on a local scale.

Not your typical sea turtle hatchery…

Sea turtle conservation in Nicaragua is kind of special… As we compete and collaborate with poachers, try out different work methods, enforce good ethics and impact young generations, our german-nicaraguan team might handle things a little bit differently.

Curious to find out how it’s done over here?

Our program runs from July 1st until January 31th:
– We offer internships to students and graduates
– We offer volunteering holidays to interested parties of all genders and ages
Apart from regular night shifts, daily chores and inspiring projects, we get you involved in various educational and recreational activities but also leave you with lots of free time to experience some personal holiday beach vibes!

During the rest of the year, we welcome travellers and conventional guests who want to experience affordable ecological tourism for a few nights. Simply book a stay with us and explore Venecia on your own terms!

Hands-on, Honest, and a little Different: Welcome to MEMANTA!

We want to be a role model for conservation tourism that is future-proof and realistic

Our vision is to show the world that conservation can promote sustainable development as it enables ecological tourism and creates revenues. With every volunteer and guest we arere welcoming, we demonstrate the touristic (thus: economic) potential of nature itself – a resoure, that is becoming more and more scarce and therefore turning into a “luxury good”. Just imagine: If we can turn nature into a source for economic welfare, people will be so much more eager to preserve it!

By combining tourism with conservation and sustainable living, we seek to create a safe and enjoyable environment for travellers, local inhabitants, animals and plants.

We haven’t found the magic formula yet, but we wish to become a best-practice example for others in the future. For now, we want to learn, reflect and experiment together with you.
