Who We Are
Ernesto Ocampo
For many years, I have been a Tour Guide for Matagalpa Tours, which allows me to do what I love the most: learning about natural history, having adventurous experiences, hiking, doing social-cultural activities and showing people the unexplored nature and the authentic culture of Nicaragua. I also work designing products and assisting clients with their trip to Nicaragua. Matagalpa Tours has a staff anyone would love to work with. They are very talented, friendly people, but most importantly they are humanitarians and committed to a sustainable development through their work. That's why Matagalpa Tours is not just a company to me but a group of people that I share my passion with. I am also one of the rafting guides, another way of enjoying nature and adrenaline. I aim to be better in all my fields every day and also to be able to connect people with a unique experience during their visit to Nicaragua.

After exploring many beautiful places in the northern part of Nicaragua, I realized that there wasn’t a company that offered tours to these destinations. I saw the need to found a tour operator and give travelers the chance to discover the beautiful jungles, landscapes, and people of this region. I like the fact that Matagalpa Tours offers the perfect trip to travelers who are looking for a chance to learn about the culture and history of Nicaragua and who don’t mind spending the night in basic accommodations if it means having a real and authentic experience. I´m very interested in creating community initiatives, such as supporting indigenous women artisans and producers, and I believe that it is imperative to invest in our own team, giving them a space for personal development. Here at MatagalpaTours, we feel called to promote environmental education. It is from this calling that “Agualí” was born. Aguali is a program for children and young people, where we offer field trips, festivals, workshops, and other activities, all free of charge. Now, after ten years, this dream called Matagalpa Tours is continues to materialize before our eyes.

I studied accounting and I have lots of experience working in private companies and financial institutions; however, I have always been interested in tourism. Before working here I volunteered for 14 years in social programs with adolescents and teens, throughout high school and the university. Now in Matagalpa Tours, I’m in charge of human resources, administration of the company, accounting, and operations. I’m happy to have this opportunity, because I like the services we offer, the work environment, and most of all the fact that it’s a company that focuses on the development and well-being of all of its employees. Matagalpa Tours is special; it’s very different from other companies. In my free time I like to play volleyball, but my favorite pastime is traveling and getting to know new places in and out of Nicaragua.
