San Juan de Cinco Pinos, colloquially known as Cinco Pinos, is a town and a municipality in the north of the Chinandega Department in Nicaragua, situated between San Pedro del Norte and Santo Tomás del Norte.

Prior to that time, there was a small village called Villa Salvadorita, 2 km west of the current location of Cinco Pinos.

In the early 1950s, with the development of cotton cultivation, the town was renamed to San Juan de Cinco Pinos.

[citation needed] The festivities of the patron saint of Cinco Pinos is held in honor of San Caralampio.

The event takes place every year from February 9 to 11, with the traditional Toro Huaco dance and chichero music.
