About
Tegucigalpa:
Tegucigalpa is the
capital of Honduras and the republic's largest city. The name is
derived from the Amerindian Tekut Xiuatl Pan meaning "silver mountain".
In effect, Tegucigalpa came to being during colonial times as a mining
center. "Tegus" as its inhabitants affectionately call it, is a mix of
an old colonial city that has turned into the modern capital of
Honduras. As a matter of fact, Tegucigalpa became the most important
mining center in Central America during colonial times. A city with
very pleasant climate, Tegucigalpa is nestled in a valley at about
3000-ft making its climate ideal. A gateway into Pacific coast, as
well as to the numerous attractions that are located in central and
southern Honduras. Getting around Tegucigalpa can be a confusing
experience. Despite the colonial history of the city, it does not have
the typical Spanish layout of square streets around the Central Park.
This is mostly due to the fact that terrain around the city did not
allow this. Originally two separate cities, Tegucigalpa and
Comayaguela have grown into one big city. The Choluteca River is still
the official boundary between the sister cities, and Tegucigalpa is by
far the better of the two. Websites about
