My Honduras is alive with the sound of music. In my neigborhood you can hear music coming from all around all day long. Honduras is a vibrant country, brimming with clear turquois waters, pristine beaches, lush jungles, breathtaking mountains, challenging rivers, and fascinating ancient ruins. Vast expanses of mother nature are to be found everywhere.
 
Ecotours, inexpensive scuba diving,river rafting and mountain treks are what Honduras is known for today. We have had the pleasure of housing Cameron Diaz, Michael Jackson, the late Lisa Lopez and a couple more. In many ways Honduras remains a virgin land. Much of its natural beauty is yet to be discovered. People are very traditional and very warm. We have bustling cities and quaint little towns, amazing flora and fauna.
 
Honduras has 3 major topographical regions, including a vast interior plateau of hills and mountains that dominate the landscape; the caribbean lowlands, and the Pacific lowlands. The forested interior hills and the Sierra Madre mountains are crisscrossed by a large series of rivers and wide fertile vallyes fronted by sandy beaches. The caribbean lowlands extend along its entire northern coastline, and these in the northeast, the Mosquito coast is a broad uninhabited stretch of thick jungle, lagoons and mangrove swamps.
 
There is of course a lot of poverty, corrupt politicians, areas where gang members terrorize the community and drugs; however Honduras is beautiful and we are a trying as a third world country to become more. Pictures can say more than words, take a look at my Honduras.

     These are the garifunas. They dance to their own music and sing in their own dialect. Sometimes they wear elaborate costumes and they really are a treat to watch.

    These carpets stretch for miles and miles across a city called Comayagua. They are made from sawdust. People take the sawdust and dye it different colors and then carefully create elaborate patterns. Everyone walks to the sides so that the carpets won't be destroyed. It is a one day event one time a year.

    This is the inside of an old spanish fortress in the city of Trujillo. The city is filled with historical places. Castles the spanish built, their cannons, etc.

     

    Just two examples of the many animals found in Honduras. To the left you have the howler monkey and to the right a family of manatees. These and many others roam wild in the ecological preserve Cuero y Salado. Just a few minutes from where I live.

    Oh, your country is absolutely beautiful.......would you send me a ticket? ..lol..

    I am fascinated...I friend of mine went in Honduras years ago for 2 weeks in vacation and he showed me hundreds and hundreds of pictures. One place more beatiful and colorful than the other one.......he said the people was really nice and warm and easy going. He was caught in a middle of some trouble in a city (i dont recall the name), somebody got killed.....but the rest of his stay has been great. He always say he would love to come back there...he remembered Tegucigalpa and Truhillo and the Majan ruins.....

     tthank you for these great pictures...:-)

    are you currently living there?

  • unsatisfied said on Feb 06, 2007....

    Yes I am currently living in Honduras. My house is actually two blocks away from the beach you can see where the garifuans are singing. I can gaze out my window and see the ocean, people playing in the sand, the ferry making its daily trip to Roatan.

    Silver, if it hadn't been for your curiosity about my country I probably wouldn't have thought to post some pictures of Honduras

    So how come your unsatisfied living in such beauty?
  • unsatisfied said on Feb 09, 2007....

    no job, no money, living at home.

    I'm not unsatisfied about the place I live, its more about the state my life is in. I realize my life is my responsibility and if I want things to change I should make it happen. I'm trying...its just a bit hard sometimes.
