About Macizos de Peñas Blancas

One of Nicaragua's largest highland nature reserves, Macizos de Peñas Blancas protects rugged cloud forest in the Jinotega highlands with peaks reaching over 1,700 metres. The reserve is a critical water source for the Río Grande de Matagalpa basin and provides habitat for jaguars, pumas, tapirs, and an exceptional array of cloud forest birds including the resplendent quetzal. Remote and difficult to access, it remains largely pristine.
