Pueblo Morrito is a small agrarian village located on the east shores of Lake Nicaragua.

The municipality covers 677 km² of semi-humid tropical savanna used primarily for raising cattle and cultivation of rice, beans, and corn.

A ferry boat also anchors briefly in Morrito on its bi-weekly route from Granada to San Carlos.

Overnight guests to Pueblo Morrito can rent rooms in the building that houses the courthouse and judge's office.

On 12 July 2018, during the period of the 2018 Nicaraguan protests, a group of about 200 armed paramilitaries attacked the police station in Morrito.

Medardo Mairena was subsequently arrested and convicted of organizing the attack,[3] [4] but released as part of the government's general amnesty in 2019.
