Honduras
Honduras is a Central American republic that borders Guatemala and El Salvador on the west and Nicaragua on the south with both Caribbean and Pacific coasts. Honduras's rugged terrain has limited the transportation network and kept the population, which is predominantly rural, relatively isolated. The economy of Honduras is based on agriculture and is one of the least advanced in Central America. Almost wholly mountainous with narrow coastal plains, two major mountain ranges run east to west, dividing Honduras into halves. About 70 percent of the population lives in the mountain valleys. Much of Honduras has a temperate climate.
