HONDURAS -With mountains over 80 percent of the country and flat coastal areas
With mountains over 80 percent of the country and flat coastal areas, Honduras, between Nicaragua and Guatemala in Central America, is a country of contrasts. Once a major exporter of gold to Guatemala, today's economy is rooted in agriculture (primarily the banana crop).
The language is Spanish, though English is spoken almost everywhere. Good roads simplify sightseeing.
Tegucigalpa ("silver hill") was once a mining town. Today, it's an important historic center with elaborate cathedrals, huge Government buildings, an elaborate national theater, spacious parks and a small zoo.
