About Boaco
The origin of this town lies some 25 km east of the current city. The original village was however raided and destroyed in 1749 by Zambo, Caribe and Mosquito Indians. The few inhabitants who survived moved east to start a new settlement. In the years that followed, floods and disease caused them to move higher up the hills to the location of present day Boaco. The name of the town means as much as "place of the enchanters", in local language. Today, the city of Boaco has 20,000 inhabitants and serves as a regional centre for the extensive agricultural and cattle-ranching activity in this area. Beef and dairy products from the wide Boaco region find their way to the rest of the country and abroad.
