Natural treasure of Nicaragua
The Macizo de Peñas Blancas is a mountain range in northern Nicaragua that has long been celebrated for its ecological and cultural significance. Historically, the region was inhabited by indigenous communities who relied on its forests and rivers for sustenance, using the land for hunting, gathering, and small-scale agriculture. During the colonial period, the area remained relatively untouched due to its steep cliffs and dense cloud forests, preserving its biodiversity and natural beauty. Over time, Macizo became recognized as a critical conservation area, protecting rare flora and fauna, including cloud forest species unique to Central America.
