Additional Community Narrative: Pukualike: The round mound on the left was the refuge for the Manauelike in a war when the nobles were almost killed by the Choluteca people. The Lenca loyalists, called Tauakas, took their chief and held him on a hut on top for a long time, until they had killed the nobles of the Cholutecas. This sacred spot is the subject of many myths and is still there. Chief Leonel Chevez (October 2024)
