Honduras

Once the home of the Maya, the region borders the Caribbean in the north and the Pacific in the south. In the densely populated lowlands of the northwest is San Pedro Sula. On the northeast coast is the great lowland jungle of Mosquitia with the UNESCO-protected biosphere reserve of Río Plátano.

Olanchito, Yoro

Olanchito, located in the department of Yoro in northern Honduras, is often referred to as the "Sultana de Yoro." This charming city is renowned for its vibrant culture, rich agricultural traditions, and deep connection to banana production.

Climate

At the higher altitudes in the interior, the tropical climate is more temperate. In the hot, humid Caribbean lowlands, pineapples and bananas grow at an average annual temperature of around 26°C or 78°F. On the Caribbean coast it rains from May to October but humidity remains high around the year.
