Honduras: The Central America You Know - The Country You'll Love
As the last video of the series, we explore the hidden side of Honduras - beyond the popular tourist areas of Roatan, Copan Ruinas and La Ceiba. Honduras is home to many small towns, with a variety of beauty, cultural and activities to offer visitors. This video showcases just a few of these towns, including: Valle de Angeles, Comayagua, Lake Yojoa, Gracias and Omoa. (This video was filmed in July and August 2009, in conjunction with the Honduras Institute of Tourism.)
Those seeking a cultural experience off the beaten track should consider The Lenca Trail, a 76-mile route spanning from Santa Rosa de Copan to La Esperanza in the Western Highlands. In a series of charming towns, visitors will encounter the Lenca people - one of the largest indigenous groups in Honduras. A great gateway to the route is the town of Gracias, home to colonial churches, a Lenca museum, historical fort, and a Farmer'Âs Market where the Lenca people sell their vegetables and pottery. Other offshoots of the route include San Manuel de Colohete and La Campa -Â where visitors can witness the Lenca people making their pottery using the same methods as their ancestors. http://www.colosuca.com (This video was filmed in August 2009, in conjunction with the Honduras Institute of Tourism.)
