Honduras

201 years ago in 1821 Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador gained independence from Spain. Although all countries have developed differently, going through the reigns of different dictators, military generals, civil wars and drug cartels they share a common Mayan and Spanish heritage. You will often come across people in indigenous Mayan clothing (especialy in Guatemala lesser in Honduras) while they wear a Christian cross necklace simultaneously.

Our short stop in Copan led us to ancient Mayan ruins (a central spot of rule in the past) and a wonderful hot spring in the jungle, where already Mayans used to meditate at (a heavy tropical rainfall accompanied our session there to complete the experience).もっと詳しく
