Things to see and do Bilwi – Puerto Cabezas

Declared biological reserve in 1991, the Miskito Miskito are a set of 76 small islands covered with palm trees and mangrove trees spread over an area of about 120 kilometres, at the level of the Cabo Gracias a Dios and to Puerto Cabezas, 45 kilometres from the coast. The greatest cayo is called Big Cay; It is 37 km ² and there is drinking water. According to legend, he would be inhabited by the ghosts of pirates who came to the Atlantic coast several centuries ago… so that nobody sleeps, and that the island is only visited during the day. There are little cabana of stilts fishing. However, it is very complicated and therefore very costly to go there. Apart from the budding explorers, nobody visits the Miskito Miskito at the moment. In spite of all the small paradise islands? Instead, we recommend the Cayos Perlas (access from Laguna de Perlas via Bluefields).

Opening in February 2023, this new museum traces the history of the Sandinista revolution, and more specifically the role of Nicaragua's Caribbean coast in the confrontations. You'll be able to see photographs, documents and objects from the years of conflict, and discover the biographies of some of the key figures from that era. A visit to the museum is an opportunity to learn more about the role of this region in the building of the country.
