Flying in seems to be the best way, but the descent on approach can be interesting. The pilot may have to fishtail the plane into alignment with the runway as there are mountains all around, and it's a hard place to land it. The landing is interesting. Just a few days after we arrived in The Goose (Tegucigalpa), an American Military plane) probably a C-130 landed, but didn't stop in time and ran off the end of the runway, I think killing many onboard. Wake up call, there! I think I also remember plane scraps at the end of the runway. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

The bus station, isnt really a bus station, it where about 20 people can sit down and wait for the bus to pull up outside the door. People hang around the streets trying to sell their wares as you wait, and will then follow you on the bus as well. The night before we had left there had been heavy rainfall and it looked like there was mudslides all over the city, hence it took us a couple of hours to get out. Bus normally leaves at about 9am, costs $20 one way and you should arrive in Managua at about 6pm, though not always the case! Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

by Sininen This beautiful building used to be the supreme court of Honduras but today it houses the museum of the Honduran man. I didn't visit this museum because I only had one afternoon in Tegucigalpa and wanted to walk rather than spend my time indoors. When I was taking a photo of this building a man came to me saying "Isn't it beautiful?" and asked where I was from. When I answered him he said that he had been to Helsinki a few years back. He was looking for the Galeria Nacional de Arte, but then I wasn't able to help him though later I realised that it was very close. He said that he had been looking for it for hours. Incidentaly on the following morning when I was looking for a place to have breakfast I bumped in to him again as he came to the same caf? and asked if I could recommend him some places worth visiting in Honduras. Both times he disappeared as quickly as he arrived. I think he was American. There was something strange around him...

 General Francisco Morazan on horseback. by Sininen In the Parque Central there is a statue of General Francisco Morazan, who is a Honduran hero. He was elected president of the United Provinces in 1830, but this union didn't last long. Nine years later the union was history. His aim was to lessen the power of the church, the narrow the huge gap between Spanish upper class and the indigenous people and make known the importance of the region for the wolrd market.

The cathedral dominates downtown Tegucigalpa. It is in one side of the Parque Central so if you go where the locals are you cannot miss the cathedral. It was built in the 18th century and its altar is decorated with gold and silver and there is a lot of fine art in the church. I didn't take any photos inside because I didn't want disturb people who were praying (made complicated to take photos in any church in Central America!). I liked the setting of the cathedral next to palm trees! Leave a Comment Address: Plaza Morazan (Parque Central)

 View from the park by Sininen The area of Tegucigalpa I saw was between parks Parque Valle, Plaza Morazan and Parque de la Merced, I wasn't looking for parks but seemed to end up to them. It was nice to rest my feet and sit down under shade of trees on that hot September day. It was good way to watch people come and go too. Leave a Comment

It is easy to miss details when you are in a new place to you. I always try to look for them and managed to see some in Tegucigalpa, though I have to say that I was not in mood for taking photos. I was feeling quite miserable with runny nose and nasty cough. Leave a Comment

I really enjoyed my short stay in the capital of Honduras. I was running out of time and therefore I decided to leave all the Mayan ruins for another trip and just have a taste of Honduras. Though a big city Tegucigalpa wasn't that bad a place after all! I am sure that it would have had much more to offer if I had had more time. I liked the narrow streets which went up and up and obviously down and down too and the view towards to the hill, where under other circumstances I would have loved to go and have a view all over the city.

 Tegucigalpa Cathedral by LATINO82 The Historical Center of town is very interesting. Within the Historical center you will find old buildings, such as the Cathedral, dedicated to the patron saint of Tegucigalpa, Michael Archangel. Built between 1765 and 1782, it has an exquisite baroque altar. Another interesting old church is the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, located only a few blocks from the Central Park. This church is living proof of the importance that Tegucigalpa had during colonial days as a mining center. Leave a Comment Address: Downtown

by Sininen Like in any other city or town in Central America central plaza is the place where locals like to spend time and meet people, eat and chat. Tegucigalpa was no exception and I spent a while watching the colourful, everchanging play. Leave a Comment
