About
Los Portillos Lagoon (also known as Harbour Head) is a lagoon and a Nicaraguan exclave located within the coast of Costa Rica. Although it administratively belongs to the Río San Juan Department in Nicaragua, it is geographically surrounded by the Costa Rican province of Limón. The area, which is disputed between the two countries, is a wetland and lagoon that has historically been important due to its access to the Caribbean Sea and its strategic location for border crossings and water transport.
