Boaco, Administrative division in central Nicaragua

The municipality of Boaco spans across 1,087 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, representing 26 percent of the Boaco Department's total area.

The original settlement of Boaco, established by Spanish colonists 15 miles east of the current location, was destroyed in 1749 by indigenous raids.

Residents of Boaco maintain their agricultural traditions through regular markets where farmers sell fresh produce, dairy products, and locally crafted items.

The municipality connects to Nicaragua's capital Managua through the Pan-American Highway, facilitating the transportation of agricultural products to major markets.

The terrain's elevation changes led to the municipality's nickname 'Ciudad de Dos Pisos', reflecting its natural construction across different height levels.
