GEOGRAPHY
Location and Boundaries
Honduras, located at the widest part of the isthmus of Central America, is the second largest Central American republic (see fig. 3 ). The triangular-shaped country has a total area of about 112,000 square kilometers. The 735-kilometer northern boundary is the Caribbean coast extending from the mouth of the Río Motagua on the west to the mouth of the Río Coco on the east, at Cabo Gracias a Dios. The 922-kilometer southeastern side of the triangle is the land border with Nicaragua; it follows the Río Coco near the Caribbean Sea and then extends southwestward through mountainous terrain to the Golfo de Fonseca on the Pacific Ocean. The southern apex of the triangle is a 153- kilometer coastline at the Golfo de Fonseca, which opens onto the Pacific Ocean. The western land boundary consists of the 342-kilometer border with El Salvador and the 256-kilometer border with Guatemala. Honduras controls a number of islands as part of its offshore territories. In the Caribbean Sea, the islands of Roatán (Isla de Roatán), Utila, and Guanaja together form Islas de la Bahía (Bay Islands), one of the eighteen departments into which Honduras is divided. Roatán, the largest of the three islands, is fifty kilometers long by five kilometers wide. The Islas de la Bahía archipelago also has a number of smaller islands, among them the islets of Barbareta (Isla Barbareta), Santa Elena (Isla Santa Elena), and Morat (Isla Morat). Farther out in the Caribbean are the Islas Santanillas, formerly known as Swan Islands. A number of small islands and keys can be found nearby, among them Cayos Zapotillos and Cayos Cochinos. In the Golfo de Fonseca, the main islands under Honduran control are El Tigre, Zacate Grande (Isla Zacate Grande), and Exposición (Isla Exposición).

    GEOGRAPHY
    Size: Second largest country of Central America; area of 112,088 square kilometers. Topography: About 80 percent of country consists of interior highlands, extremely rugged and mountainous with numerous intermontane valleys. Long and narrow Caribbean lowlands widen in northeast, with numerous narrow river valleys reaching into interior mountains. Small Pacific lowlands along the Golfo de Fonseca. Climate: Entire country lies within tropics, but much regional variation because of mountains. Caribbean lowlands generally hotter and more humid than rest of country. More temperate conditions at higher elevations. Rainfall varies; Caribbean lowlands, especially in northeast, wettest. Distinct wet and dry season in Pacific lowlands and interior highlands. May to September wettest months. Data as of December 1993

    What is the most important thing to know about honduras s geography? Why? Give at least three examples of diversity in honduras s geography or culture.
    http://www.peacecorps.gov/wws/guides/honduras/honour.html
    Honduras Activities Grades 6 - 9: Nuestro Pais: Our Country (P)
    Materials: Reading "Nuestro Pais: Our Country" which follows these suggestions Background Information:
    This overview of the geography of Honduras is from the third grade social studies textbook Nuestro Pais which is used by Honduran students in both public and private schools. (Because of their cost and because all students must buy their own materials, textbooks are not usually available in rural schools.)
    Activity Ideas:
    • Have students silently read the overview in Nuestro Pais: Our Country looking for the most important point about Honduras's geography. Compare responses, asking students to give evidence for their choices. As students read the rest of the selection, ask them to look for the influence of the mountains on climate, vegetation, and lifestyle. Alternatively, divide students into groups of four and have each student in the group read and summarize a different section of Nuestro Pais. Share the summaries within the groups, again noting the influence of Honduras's mountains on its climate, vegetation, and lifestyles.
    • Use a physical map of the United States or the world to locate states and/or countries with physical features similar to those of Honduras. Would the climate and lifestyle (food, clothing, leisure activities, livelihoods, etc.) of those areas be the same as that of Honduras? Why or why not? Have students locate and research the lifestyles of people living in various mountain regions around the world. Create a class bulletin board of students' findings; have students generalize about the characteristics these regions share.
