Photos and Videos: Honduras

I went to Honduras.

Edit: reordered the photos and added more information so things are little more sensible. Also, Pam took some of these photos but I forget which ones exactly.

The Lord’s handiwork:


Chicharrones:

Entering Tegucigalpa, the capital:





This tree was massive:

Another massive tree, in a rotary. One of the branches needed its own pole to support it:

Tegucigalpa, night versus day. The street you see going diagonal into the center of the photo is one of the city’s main arteries, Boulevard Morazán:

The new embassy building:





Santa Lucia:





These next photos are from Valle de Ángeles.

Pupusas. They were my favorite Honduran dish:

Horse butts:








La Tigra National Park:

I got Pam at the right time, with the .5 zoom “lens”:

Pam and I, in front of one of the large trees:

At one of the trail’s summits. The air was windy and wonderful. Video at the end of the post:

Me, at the mouth of one of the mining caves, dressed like a grandma on a tropical vacation:

Inside the cave:

Lake Yojoa in Comayagua:

Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Comayagua:

We were able to get into the bell tower section of the cathedral. A guard let us in and I’m kinda surprised he just let us roam around by ourselves. Here’re the guts of the cathedral’s clock, the oldest clock in the Americas:






From the topmost floor of the tower, you can really see the stone pattern in the courtyard, which forms a “shadow” of the cathedral itself:

The steep and narrow stairs:

Here’s a juggler at a traffic light:

A band was playing below the parking garage of one of my Airbnbs:

At one of the trail summits at La Tigra. It really felt like another world:

Some local flavor:

  • Impressive collection, Jay. You did a good job on those. The last video reminds me: In every video I’ve seen of Latin American cities, there is always a rat’s nest of wires and cables everywhere. Only India is worse. I suspect it’s because they don’t have monopolies on whatever the cables carry.

    • Thanks, Ed. I edited the post a bit, reordering the photos and fixing some information (Pam corrected me on some things).

      About the power lines…some of the problem might be because the Honduran economy hasn’t been able to support underground transmission, so everything is above-ground. Not sure what other things besides power might be hooked up above-ground through those wires, but I’m sure there’s some of that, too.

  • Wow. What a beautiful story your photos and videos tell. The beauty of the country and the food, the civilized and the wild parts, and everything in between. The artwork was very attractive. I appreciate you sharing all this with us, Jay!
