Nueva Guinea, Municipality in South Caribbean Coast Autonomous Region, Nicaragua.
Nueva Guinea is a municipality in the South Caribbean Coast Autonomous Region of Nicaragua, covering extensive lowland territory. The area encompasses multiple river-based settlements spread across forested landscape in the Atlantic tropical zone.
The municipality developed in the 1960s when families relocated from Nicaragua's Pacific region with support from international development initiatives. This migration wave reshaped local settlement patterns and established the administrative center.
The University of the Autonomous Regions of the Nicaraguan Caribbean Coast maintains a campus in Nueva Guinea, providing education to local students.
The administrative center serves as the main hub for local services and community activities. Visitors should expect limited infrastructure as this is a rural area where services are spread across dispersed settlements.
Archaeological findings in river basins show evidence of early settlement during pre-Columbian times. These discoveries reveal that humans inhabited the region thousands of years before modern settlement began.
