General Information:
With a population of over 42,000 people, Santa Rosa serves as an administrative and commercial center for much of the western part of

Honduras. The city was established in the mid 18th century as the site for Spain's 'Royal Tobacco Factory.' The wealth that was created by the tobacco factory sparked further development and Santa Rosa became a mixing point

for indigenous and European cultures. Transportation to Santa Rose is easy as one of the most well maintained highways in Central America runs through the city. The city sits at just over 5,000 ft. above sea level and experiences average temperatures of 60-75 F.
