I was here for a week doing a volunteer stint. It’s the poorest city in Honduras. Really nice and friendly people. It puts things in perspective when you see how people are so happy and open and warm with such little money. Community and family are what’s important, not monetary things. And my experience in La Esperanza really showed that.

That being said, if you’re looking for a vacation spot, this isn’t it. Just a nice place to pass through for a day. Or a good place to spend time volunteering.
