Interesting facts about this location
Muy Muy
Muy Muy is a municipality in the Matagalpa department of Nicaragua. Although "Muy Muy" means "very very" in Spanish, the municipality was named so by the Nahuatl, for whom "muymuy" means "nutria," which were once found in abundance in the region. This needs to be clarified, since the meaning of "nutria" is not clear. It seems that in North America, "nutria" means "coypu" (myocastor coypus), an animal related to the beaver (genus castoridae).
