 The Republic of Honduras, located in Central America, has a mountaineous interior with narrow coastal plains on the Caribbean Sea between Guatemala and Nicaragua (La Mosquitia) and the Gulf of Fonseca on North Pacific Ocean, between El Salvador and Nicaragua. Belize (formerly British Honduras) is across the Gulf of Honduras to the north. The climate of Honduras is sub-tropical in the lowlands and temperate in the mountains. Like other Central American countries Honduras is susceptible to hurricanes (notable Fifi in 1974 and Mitch in 1998) and earthquakes; the entire isthmus is a "biodiversity hotspot" with diverse biological resources and indigenous cultures.
Copán, in extreme western Honduras, was the site of a major Classic era Mayan kingdom that had disappeared by the time the Columbus landed near Trujillo in 1502. Columbus called the land "Honduras" in reference to the deep water off the coast. After independence from Spain in 1821, Honduras was a member of the United States of Central America federation that was destroyed by civil war. Honduras is a democratic constitutional republic with compulsory and universal suffrage at 18 years of age. The capital of Honduras is Tegucigalpa.

The Maya
(500 B.C. – 900 A.D.)
The Maya Indians built one of the world's most remarkable civilizations in the jungles of Central America. Like the ancient Greeks, who civilization was nearing its peak just as the Maya appeared, the Maya are known for their fabulous temples, and for their amazing knowledge of math and science. The Maya were the only Indians in America to develop a written language. Today, people come from all over the world to view the crumbling ruins of their once-great cities. ... • more Ancient Civilizations posters
