Nakunta River


The Nakunta River flows through the Honduran department of Gracias a Dios and empties into the Caratasca Lagoon a few kilometers south of Puerto Lempira. It is 115 kilometers ( which is 71 miles) long. In particular, the river begins in the Department's La Mosquitia district, which is known for its quantity of lizards.

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.
