Coco River

River Wangki in Miskitu or Coco River in Spanish, historically known as the Ro Segovia, Cape River, or Yara River, is a river on the border of Nicaragua and Honduras. This river ranks 1st on the list of longest rivers in Honduras. With a total length of 841 kilometers, it is the longest river that travels wholly within the Central American isthmus (523 mi).

The river begins in the Somoto Canyon National Monument, near where the Pan American Highway enters Nicaragua, and flows 841 kilometers (523 miles) through low hilly terrain into the Caribbean Sea in Cabo Gracias a Dios; the middle and lower sections form the Honduras-Nicaragua border.

In addition, on September 7, 2007, major international news wires reported that the Coco River was more than 11 metres (36 feet) above the normal stage, just two days after category 5 Hurricane Felix made landfall.
