OVERVIEW
Honduras is bordered by the Caribbean to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the south, Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador. There is a mountain system to the center of the country, which is interrupted by rivers flowing into both the Caribbean and Pacific. In the south, the lowlands form a plain along the Pacific coast. In the north, the extensive fertile valleys of the lowlands are cultivated with banana plantations.
The capital, Tegucigalpa, was originally founded as a mining camp in 1524. La Ceiba is a major banana port, expecting to get tourism as a future major industry. There are comfortable hotels and beaches, and an international airport, one of the city's major assets.
At present, Trujillo (once a thriving port) offers old Spanish buildings, an intriguing pirate history and splendid tropical beaches.
Honduran people are mainly Roman Catholic and their official language is Spanish. The country has a tropical climate with a dry season (from November to April) and a wet season (from May to October). Honduran specialties include curiles (seafood), tortillas, frijoles, enchiladas and mondongo. Honduras' currency is the Lempira.
Some tips to take into account when visiting Honduras: the electricity runs on 110/120/220 Volts and the country code is 504.
