Puerto Cabezas, Caribbean administrative center in northeastern Nicaragua.
Puerto Cabezas, officially renamed Bilwi, extends over 5,984 square kilometers along Nicaragua's North Caribbean Coast Autonomous Region.
The region endured significant damage from Hurricane Felix in 2007, followed by hurricanes Eta and Iota in 2020, reshaping local infrastructure.
The population of 138,353 residents communicates in multiple languages, including Spanish, English, Miskito, and Sumo, reflecting the area's diversity.
Transportation access is available through Puerto Cabezas Airport, while two main markets, San Jeronimo and Mercado Municipal, supply local necessities.
The coastal municipality maintains sister city relationships with Burlington in the United States, Luleå in Sweden, and two Spanish towns.
