Rosita (Spanish pronunciation: [roˈsita]) is a town and a municipality in the North Caribbean Autonomous Region of Nicaragua.

Explorations between 1951 and 1955 led to the discovery and exploitation of copper ore, which ceased to be extracted in 1975 with the fall in the price of this metal.

The main economic activity is agriculture, with very poor soil that results in an unemployment rate of 80%.

[2] As the municipality is multiethnic (Sumos, Miskitos, Creoles, and Mestizos), each ethnicity has its own festivals, which are mainly celebrated in rural communities, maintaining the customs of their ancestors.

[2] The municipality is located along the main highway between the west of Nicaragua and the city of Puerto Cabezas on the Caribbean Sea.
