Understand
Tegucigalpa, also known as "Tegus", is a city in Honduras that exemplifies Central American urban sprawl. It is spread out across hilly terrain, offering a challenging landscape for exploration. With its rich history as a 400-year-old mining center, Tegucigalpa has plenty to offer for those willing to venture deeper. The city boasts a plethora of intriguing old colonial buildings, some in a state of decay, and hidden gems such as stone streets that wind their way up steep hills to discover hidden parks, old houses, and stone steps. One defining event in Tegucigalpa's history is Hurricane Mitch, which struck the country in 1998. This powerful hurricane set the country back 50 years and Tegus is still recovering from its impact. The city underwent massive flooding of the river and devastating landslides, triggered by rampant deforestation in the surrounding hills. Evidence of entire neighborhoods sliding off hillsides can still be seen today. Workers continue their daily efforts to remove silt deposited by the flooding, while many people mourn the loss of friends and relatives during this crisis.
