Puerto Lempira

Puerto Lempira is the capital of the Gracias a Dios department in eastern Honduras.   Though it does not have paved roads, it is the largest town in the La Moskitia region of Gracias a Dios.   Puerto Lempira is located on the shores of the Caratasca Lagoon.  The natural beauty of Puerto Lempira is awe-inspiring;  the physical poverty of Puerto Lempira is humbling.
