Of all the major Central American cities, Tegucigalpa's climate is among the most pleasant due to its high altitude. Like much of central Honduras, the city has a tropical climate, though tempered by the altitude — meaning less humid than the lower valleys and the coastal regions — with even temperatures averaging between 66 to 74 degrees Farenheit (19 and 23 degrees Celsius).

Tegucigalpa was founded by Spanish settlers as "Real Villa de San Miguel de Tegucigalpa de Heredia" in 1578 on the site of an existing native settlement. The city remained relatively small and provincial until the 1970s when immigration from the rural areas began settling. During the 1980s, several avenues and some traffic overpasses were built, as well as a few large buildings, something relatively new to a city characterized until then by two-story buildings. Tegucigalpa continues to sprawl far beyond its former colonial core, towards the east, south and west, creating large but desorganized new suburbs.

On October 30, 1998, the city was significantly damaged by Hurricane Mitch, which destroyed most of the city. This devestated the towns people and to this day (2007) they are still suffering from what happened almost ten years ago!

Tegucigalpa is a beautiful city with a lot to do. You can go into the hills and hike or go into the valley and dine on fine cuisine. Either way the trip is a wonderful town that you will not forget it!

Zombies in Tegucigalpa

Jun 27, 2007 - Aug 22, 2007
I swear that zombies exist after visiting the Honduran Capital. But first, I must tell you how I got to Tegucigalpa. We dropped our monster truck off in some little town in Nicaragua near the Honduran border. From there, we took a one hour bus to the border to pass customs and get our passport stamps. Just to clarify, most bachpackers cross this border on the Panamerican Highway, but we didnt, we crossed it on Highway 12, pretty much a deserted part of the country where only locals go. So, o...

Now the locals on the bus said " dont go out after dark" due to gangs going around the streets - and us being easy targets - it was best if we stayed in after dark - Well of course we arrived after dark! Only got some cookies for dinner - too scared to go out - Next morning we decided to find some breakfast - I wasnt feeling so good - so didnt really want much - found a small cafe that served breakfast - I had some orange juice and tea - thats all I could face - after...
