General Information:
Getting its tongue twisting name from the Nahuatl language, in which it means 'Silver Mountain,' Tegucigalpa was once one of the most important mining towns

in all of Central America. Today it serves as the modern capital of Honduras and has grown into the largest city in the country with a population well over a million. It blends a well preserved colonial heritage with all the

modern comforts of the western world. Temperatures tend to be cooler here, around 60-80 F, because of the city's higher altitude (4,000 ft.).
