 ABOUT
HONDURAS….
Located in
Central America, Honduras is a lovely country which borders on the Caribbean and the
Pacific. It has many mountains, tropical
foliage, beautiful beaches and friendly people!!!! Some of the favorite’s tourist
spots are the famous Mayan ruins in Copan, the gorgeous tropical rain forest of Pico
Bonito, diving resorts of the Bay Islands, and Cuero y Salado, one of the largest wild
life preserves in Latin America.
Honduras is one of the
original 5 Central American Provinces (Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and
Costa Rica) that chose, after gaining independence from Spain in 1821, to remain
individually independent. Although it has a history of military regimes, Honduras has now
enjoyed over 30 years of uninterrupted democratic government.
 El Progreso is the 5th
largest city with a population of about 200,000 and supports several large maquilas
(factories) and banana plantations. Its closest city is San Pedro Sula (the International
Airport is here), a bustling center on almost 1,000.000 people, and full of cultural
history, commerce and excellent restaurants with all types of international cuisine.
Although the principal language spoken in Honduras is Spanish, English is understood in
many retail stores, restaurants and businesses. The currency is the lempira but US money
and credit cards are also accepted.
