Introducing Western Honduras
History is palpable in Western Honduras. The region has been part of the human experience for millennia – it has witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations, the ebb and flow of various people’s control over the land and over each other.
History does not seem distant here. Walking through Copán’s ruins, it is not hard to picture the valley a bustling city of 20, 000. Sitting in a centuries-old church in Santa Rosa de Copán, you can easily imagine a time when the same thick walls were new and the paint fresh. Stand in a Lenca village and you’ll see life there as it was generations ago, not much changed.
