Introducing La Esperanza
La Esperanza is Intibucá’s capital and largest city, though you’d never guess from the dusty streets and small-town atmosphere. The town is best known for its Sunday market, when Lencans from the surrounding area buy, sell and trade goods of all sorts. In the heart of one of Honduras’ poorest regions, La Esperanza also attracts an unusually large number of foreign volunteers, either Christian groups building latrines or general practitioners helping out in area clinics.
