Puerto Lempira

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Puerto Lempira is the capital of the Gracias a Dios department of Honduras. It is located on the shores of the Caratasca Lagoon, and is named for the 16th century leader of the indigenous Lenca peoples, Lempira, who directed an ultimately unsuccessful resistance against the Spanish conquistador forces in the 1530s.
