La Mosquitia (Honduras)

Its population includes indigenous and ethnic groups such as the Tawahka, Miskito, Pech, Rama, Sumo, Garífuna, Ladino, and Creole peoples.

[2] La Mosquitia has the largest wilderness area in Central America, consisting of mangrove swamps, lagoons, rivers, savannas, and tropical rain forests.

The Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve, part of the so-called "great lungs" of Central America, covers nearly 7% of Honduran territory.

Among its many species are the jaguar, tapir, peccary, crocodile, manatee, garza (heron), and White-headed capuchin (monkey).

A paper published in 1999 located and mapped the site using Synthetic-aperture radar based on information obtained from local inhabitants during an expedition to the area in 1993.
