Honduras

Honduras has served as a meeting ground between Mesoamerica and the Caribbean since pre-Columbian times. Its northern shore follows the Caribbean Sea, while the Gulf of Fonseca opens the country to the Pacific in the south; between them lie forested mountains, river valleys and Lake Yojoa. The Río Patuca, one of Central America’s major rivers, crosses the east toward the Caribbean. At Copán, the remains of a major Maya city include intricately carved stone monuments, recalling the region’s role in the Maya world. Garifuna communities along the Caribbean coast maintain a distinct Afro-Indigenous heritage expressed through music, dance and food.
