Honduras is a poverished country. It does, however, have many strengths, including banana production and offshore oil resources. Its long Caribbean coast is very hot. Temperatures moderate to cool in the mountainous central highlands.
Tegucigalpa is the capital. The official language is Spanish and the currency is the Lempira. The total population (1999 estimate) was 5.8 million, with approximately 135 people per square mile. Tourism along the Mosquito Coast is increasing and with the growing popularity of cigars, the country's tobacco business is flourishing.
El Zamorano is 25 miles southeast of Tegucigalpa toward Danli and the Nicaraguan boarder. Jovenes en Camino is located near the Zamorano Agricultural University.
