Recycling trash in Tegucigalpa

Honduras This Week National NewsCartoons, bumper stickers and pins in favor of the nature all have good intentions – but they cannot save the planet Earth. In Honduras there is a great misconception about what environmental issues really are and the knowledge about how to act (and not to act) concerning the subject is over all deficient. Full Article

Forest after fire

Honduras This Week National NewsHonduras is recognized for its nature and, therefore, for its beauty. If both were to be lost, the country’s deterioration would only be expected. This country’s second major ecological issue consists in a methodic deforestation, the process in which entire forests are cut down so that the land can be used for agriculture purposes.

THE IMPERFECT STORM
YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE THIS SEA TALE

Travel & Tourism in HondurasAt five o’clock in the a.m., we scrambled a PRO-48 from A.K.R. and headed east into the wind. We had a report the night before about a Whale Shark in trouble off the coast of Roatan and this was the quickest we could get underway due to one thing and another. Aboard were some nine concerned men willing to face the turbulent water to get to the bottom of the problem, but hopefully not to the bottom of the sea.By Don Pearly



Travel & Tourism in HondurasCopan Ruins´ real estate market has taken a brisk upturn in the past months with many new residential and commercial constructions being erected.  Last week I mentioned that Copans first international chain eatery will open right on the Central Park. As well, a number of new hotels have sprouted in the past few months and still others have renovated and added rooms and amenities. In terms of residential construction there are currently 4 townhomes being constructed on the street to Sesemil, just a few blocks from the center of town. On the outskirts of town across the Copan River, a number of large homes have been built and are being built in the hills overlooking the town.

A Tribute to all Mothers

Andrea Gutiérrez
Honduras This Week

The second Sunday of May is officially declared as Mothers Day. We know that we should tribute and love to them every day, we take this day as an opportunity to deliver a poem in Spanish to them with all of our love.

From the poetry book El Arquitecto de los Sueños (The Dream Architect, by the Argentinean Sergio Barbieri).
