In the US people think of Central America as only a hotbed of crime, gangs, homicides, drug trafficking and illegal aliens. That is only a small tip of the iceberg, and is not the real Honduras. Nor are Roatan and the Bay Islands, as seen by most tourists. The other 95% of the country is tranquil, serene, culturally unique and stunningly beautiful.
Late afternoon on the cobblestone streets of Sabana Grande.
Entrance to the little Spanish Colonial pueblo of Ojojona.
View from La Trigra National Park, overlooking the Cantarranas Valley below.
A little stream coming down from La Tigra into the mining town of San Juancito. I found gold in several places in this stream, but not enough to be worth the effort.
Near the summit of the Cordillera, about two miles above my house. The mountains in the far distance are in Nicaragua.
Other side of the Cordillera, heading for Santa Cruz.
Entrance to La Tigra National Park on the north side. No souvenir shops, no McDonalds, few rules except no cars and respect the environment. Nothing but miles and miles of tranquility. The road is for Park Service vehicles.
Typical jungle clearing in Intibucá, Honduras. Bananas grow wild everywhere. This is jaguar country!
Rio Gualcarque, Intibucá, Honduras. A lovely and tranquil place sacred to the Rio Blanco Lenca people.
A photo-art rendition of the little Spanish Colonial pueblo of San Juan de los Flores, also known as Cantarranas.
