Cabo Gracias a Dios
Cabo Gracias a Dios
Cabo Gracias a Dios är en udde i Centralamerika som sticker ut i Karibiska havet. Udden ligger precis på gränsen mellan Honduras och Nicaragua, där Río Coco floden rinner ut i havet. Cabo Gracias a Dios ligger i kommunerna Ramón Villeda Morales i Honduras och Waspán i Nicaragua. Kristoffer Kolumbus besökte udden den 12 september 1502 under sin fjärde resa och det var han som namngav den. [1]

Around 15 degrees North, a rounded point of land juts out into the Caribbean Sea from the Central American isthmus. This low-lying, wet area is called the Mosquito Coast, a corruption of the tribal name of some of the area’s native people, the Miskito. The area includes parts of Honduras (north) and Nicaragua (south). Between the two countries flows the Coco River, which empties into the Caribbean at Cape Gracias á Dios.
