The Padre Ramos Estuary Natural Reserve (Spanish: Reserva Natural Estero Padre Ramos) is located on the northwest Pacific coast of Nicaragua, in the municipality El Viejo in the department of Chinandega. It is one of 78 protected areas of Nicaragua and is managed by Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (MARENA). Estero Padre Ramos consists of a large mangrove estuary surrounded by several small beach communities, the largest of which is the town of Padre Ramos. The area's natural environment is home to a number of species of migratory and resident birds, fishes, crustaceans, sea turtles and other wildlife.[2][3][4] While increasing in popularity as a tourist destination, tourism remains relatively well controlled in the area.
