Nakunta River
Top 6 in Top 7 Longest Rivers In Honduras
When the Sandinistas compelled Miskito and Panamahka to relocate to Nicaragua in the early 1980s, many fled to Honduras, winding up in refugee camps around the Nakunta river or in settlements such as Mocorón. As part of oil prospecting activities, discussions of constructing a bridge across the river near the settlement of Tapanlaya were ongoing in 2019.
Although this river is not the longest river in Honduras, it is the natural place of intact wealth and also the food source for many Miskito communities.
