The Museum of Archeology and History

by traveldave

The Museum of Archeology and History houses an impressive collection of hundreds of artifacts and antiques relating to the history of the Sula Valley, in which San Pedro Sula is located. The exhibits date from the pre-Columbian era to the present day. The upper floor of the museum focuses on the prehistory of the Sula Valley. The exhibits are well-displayed and described, with signs in both Spanish and English. Books in both languages which explain the artifacts in more detail are also available.The museum is licensed by the Honduran Institute of Anthropolgy and History to house the collection of archeological and historical artifacts, which belong to the people of Honduras by law.

The Museum of National Identity

by traveldave

The Museum of National Identity is the newest museum in Tegucigalpa. It highlights all aspects of Honduran history from pre-Columbian civilizations to the present day. It is housed in the former Palace of Ministries, which was initially built as a hospital in 1880.Exhibits feature artifacts from the pre-Columbian Mayan and Lencan civilizations, the colonial era (including many old Spanish maps and other documents), and modern Honduras. Some of the exhibits about the modern era contain information about former presidents, archeologists, and recent immigrants from Palestine.In addition to artifacts, the Museum of National Identity has state-of-the-art video and virtual presentations. Some of the more impressive of these exhibits include Copán Virtual (a three-dimensional tour of Copán during its heyday), a video presentation of a Mayan ball game, and a screen in the shape of a globe that...

Los Dolores Church

by traveldave

Los Dolores Church is just one of several colonial churches in the historic center of Tegucigalpa. Although it is not the largest or most important church in the city, it is perhaps the most beautiful. Los Dolores Church was built in 1732 on the Plaza de la Merced. At that time, the buildings surrounding the plaza housed the monks of the Mercedian order. In the nineteenth century, those same buildings became the home of the National University of Honduras.The façade of Los Dolores Church contains figures representing the Passion of Christ. And there is an inscription on the doorway indicating that the church was built by the mulattos and blacks of Tegucigalpa, many of whom became rich from the mining of silver. Many of the glazed angels that decorate the church have black features.Nowadays, Los Dolores Church is a tourist attraction for those who appreciate colonial architecture and...

Visiting Turtle Farm at Cayman Island

by Leniebill

Everyone will love this trip. Try to book an excursion with the ship to be more safe. The tour takes you to the farm where they raise the turtles. They're huge!! You get to hold & pet them as your friends take your momentous photo. Don't worry, they won't bite. Next part of your tour is the famous trip to "Hell". Got it's name from what looks like volcanic rocks that make up the land. You can buy your postcard & they'll stamp it for you. Now you can send your family a postcard from "Hell".

Trujillo

by Gaiatouring

Blown away by Hurricane Mitch, tourism in Trujillo has never really returned. The former capital sits in a torpor on the North Coast opposite the heavily trafficked Bay Isles. It is a pity that Trujillo is neglected, for it is one of the most beautiful small towns in Central America. Trujillo is also of historical interest to travellers who know the tale of William Walker, the American who dreamed of making a Central American Empire in the 1850's. On his last of several expeditions in Central America, he was captured in Honduras, and brought to Trujillo to be shot by firing squad. You can visit his grave with a stunning vista of the jungle and bay below.the old fortress f Trujillo is a lovely small museum dedicated to the Walker story and the Spanish influence on Honduras. Sit on the old defensive walls and dream of the days of sailing ships and high seas adventure. For accomodation, the...

Iguana Farm

by krissyM

We asked the driver of our van to suggest some things to do. He sugessted the Iguana Farm (because they got a kickback for bringing tourists). It was $5 USD to get in. The Farm consisted of about 100 yards of someones backyard with hundreds of iguanas crawling everywhere. Some of them were curious and would crawl up to you, and others would let you pet them. There was a monkey in a cage at the back and a dock at the end of the yard that you could go and look out on. We were through the farm and ready to leave after about 30 minutes.

Snorkeling and sunshine in the tropics

by Mailo

You come to Honduras and you need to see the Bay Islands, three smal islands in the caribbean that are part of this atlantic ocean. Many people come here to relax and have fun.The beauty is in the beaches, the clear blue water and the coral reef for those who love snorkeling.The islands are Utila´, Roatan and Guanaja, and several other mini islands like the one on the picture called Cayos Cochinos, small keys just to make sure you relax in the middle of the planet and the ocean.

TEGUCIGALPA

by kiwigal_1

Tegucigalpa is the capital of Honduras and the largest city. It is located in the central mountainous area of Honduras. The city is actually two cities combined (Tegucigalpa and Comayaguela) on either side of the Rio Choluteca or the Rio Grande as it is otherwise known.I didn't spend much time in Tegus during either of my trips to Honduras. I fondly remember taking a bus ride from the center of town out into the sticks and back again for only a few lempiras!
