If you’re going to be in Nicaragua on January 30th then head on down to San Juan del Sur and the Earthship Pitaya Festival.  If you are not in the country, make a special trip.  It will be worth it. Check out this video filmed at the festival last year.

The Earthship Pitaya Festival was founded in 2009 on a very simple mission statement, to celebrate community, music, diversity, culture and sustainability in the best way possible; A one day festival in the heart of El Carizal, a small community along Nicaragua’s southern pacific coast. This community is also home to Central America’s premier Earthship, a completely off grid home made from nearly 100% recycled materials.

This years festival promises to be even better than last with performances by Local and International Artists, Games, Tours, Great Cuisine, Workshops and much, much more.

If you can’t make it down for the festival, we can still arrange tours to the Earthship and local community projects in the area - contact us for the details.

Can’t wait to see surfers use these in Nicaragua.
