Editor in chief Arnie Weissmann recently visited Pacaya Lodge and Spa, a property located above Laguna de Apoyo in central Nicaragua that was financed in part by the nonprofit Opportunity International. Local communities were invited into the planning process, and when the lodge opened in March, everything, from the art and furniture in the rooms to the saltshakers on the restaurant tables, was both locally made and available for purchase. Pictured here, the board of directors of Opportunity International dine al fresco at Pacaya Lodge.
