Turismo

Among modern cities, Tegucigalpa, the capital, and San Pedro
Sula, the industrial city, are the largest. They are political and
business centers, but they are also destinations for events,
conventions, as well as good starting points to discover the
country. Tegucigalpa, for example, has a mix of colonial,
neoclassical and modern buildings in an urban landscape that
is expanding vertically. The energy of the city is also evident in
the increasingly diverse cultural and artistic options offered
by its museums, galleries and cultural centers.
On the other hand, San Pedro Sula is in a geographical
location that has been destined for trade since colonial times.
Both businesses and immigrants came to the area because of
the opportunity that banana companies represented in the
19th century, as well as for its proximity with Puerto Cortes.
Today, the economic activity of industrial parks and factories,
especially textile ones, generate the country's second largest
source of income. Surrounded by beautiful mountains and
large extensions of sugar cane and banana plantations, San
Pedro Sula is known as the industrial hub of Central America.
