Honduras is a small country in Central America bordering the Caribbean Sea, between Guatemala and Nicaragua, and bordering the Gulf of Fonseca (North Pacific Ocean), between El Salvador and Nicaragua. It has a population of approximately 7 million persons. Honduras was once part of the Mayan civilization that spread southwards from the Yucatán peninsula and throughout most of Central America. Christopher Columbus visited Honduras in 1502 on his third voyage to the new world, and the country was subsequently colonized by Spain for several centuries. On independence in 1821, Honduras joined the Central American Federation, but this union did not last long. Honduras severed ties several years later with the Federation and became fully independent. The Honduran people are mainly mestizo, an ethnic mix of native Indian, Spanish and other nationalities. Visitors can expect to be pleasantly surprised by the hospitality extended to them by most Hondurans. The official language is Spanish, although English is widely spoken in the major tourist areas. The climate of Honduras is mostly tropical. It is hot and humid on the Caribbean coast, hot and dry in the interior plains, with cooler temperatures in the central mountain regions. The rainy season extends from June to October.  Honduras offers a wide range of different vacation experiences. It offers some great venues for snorkeling and diving, many Mayan archaeological ruins and treasures, some beautiful National Parks and wildlife sanctuaries, pristine uncrowded beaches, and much more. Tegucigalpa Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, became the most important mining center in Central America during colonial times. It got its name from the ancient Nahuatl language which translated means "silver mountain". It is located in a large valley about 1000m (3280ft) above sea level and surrounded by a ring of mountains covered in pine trees. Because of the altitude of the city, the climate is very pleasant. Tegucigalpa has a population of about 800,000 people. The Boulevard Morazán, also known as "la zona viva", is the commercial heart of Tegucigalpa. It is a modern bustling district where you will find many of the very best restaurants, bars and shops in town. The Historical Center of the city is very interesting. Here you will find the domed 18th-century Central Park Cathedral, which features exquisite baroque architecture and fine art treasures. The legislative palace, built on stilts, is also located in this area, as well as the old Presidential Palace, which is now a museum. La Tigra National Park Located near Tegucigalpa is the magnificent La Tigra National Park, one of the most beautiful places in Honduras. Located at an altitude of 2260m, the park covers an area of 230 square kilometers of lush cloud forest that is home to monkeys, ocelots, pumas, and other wildlife. Orchids, arborescent ferns, and over 250 species of birds can also be found in the park. Bay Islands The Bay Islands of Roatan, Utila and Guanaja, located 50km (30mi) off the north coast of Honduras, offer great snorkeling and diving, and some of the most spectacular underwater vistas you will find anywhere in the world, with enormous stands of black coral, brilliantly colored sponges and delicate blue bell tunicates, colorful corals, sponges and tropical marine life. These lush islands are famous for their barrier reef, which is the second largest in the world. Mayan Archaeological Sites Numerous Mayan archaeological sites are scattered throughout Honduras. The most famous is the Copan Ruins, located in the western part of Honduras. Discovered in 1570 by Diego García de Palacio, the Copan Ruins are one of the most important sites of the ancient Mayan civilization, and were not excavated until the 19th century. Visitors to the site can view the many Mayan monuments and buildings, and also get a glimpse of the living areas and life style of the ancient Mayas.        Topic Index | Email to a Friend Our Story | Be a Guide | Advertising Info | Work at About | Site Map | Icons | Help User Agreement | Ethics Policy | Patent Info. | Privacy Policy | Kids' Privacy Policy ©2005 About, Inc., A part of the New York Times Company .
