The twin cities of La Esperanza e Intibuca

The twin cities of La Esperanza e Intibuca La Esperanza e Intibuca are twin cities of Honduras, enclaved in the highest mountains of the country Puca Oplacacas which means Mountain to Heaven in Lenca.

Situated in the heart of the Honduran mainland, high up in the mountains, the department offers one of the best climate in Central America, intermingled with a pleasant, colonial city surrounded by mountains populated with small, indigenous towns full of color and folklore. Although Honduran indigenous people do not have the colorful costumes and traditions of neighboring Guatemala, this is by far

the most colorful and traditional area of the Lenca community and one of the most intriguing areas of Honduras. La Esperanza is located about 65km from the city of Siguatepeque, which is the halfway point on the San Pedro Sula to Tegucigalpa highway. With an altitude of one mile over sea level, (1,600 m.) climate here is famous for being the coldest in Honduras. The road from Siguatepeque to La Esperanza is completely paved and in good condition. La Esperanza can also be reached coming from Western Honduras via the colonial city of Gracias. I must stress though that this road is not fully paved and is sometimes in a very good state of repair and other times is terrible disrepair. Public transportation between Gracias and La Esperanza is extremely limited and unreliable, so unless you have your own car, you are usually better off reaching La Esperanza from Siguatepeque.

Esta entrevista fue hecha por Neida Sandoval la periodista Hondureña. Se los pongo como una advertencia porque sé que a Intibuca llegan muchos misioneros de iglesias y otras organizaciones y llegan a trabajar más que todo con los campesinos de las aldeas remotas . Hay que tener cuidado con nuestros niños , no hay que confiárselos a gente extraña , es más cuando les acrecen que los quieren adoptar , no se sabe que los harían con ellos . Porque ustedes saben hay una gran mafia de tráfico de órganos y no se sabe qué podrian hacer con nuestros niños. Esto es como una advertencia así que vigile y esté atento y sus hijos se ausentan por muchos días de su casa denuncie a la policía. Hay que estar alerta , no se puede confiar mucho en gente extraña.
