The inheritance capital of Mayan civilization: Honduras

Honduras is the country with the most prominent terrain in the Central American Mountains, with a beautiful environment and a popular tourist attraction. Honduras has a tropical climate, and you can also see the rare "fish rain" in some areas. It usually occurs from May to July, because tornadoes form in some parts of Honduras from May to July. The tornadoes will roll the fish in the sea into the sky, and then roll it up to some areas and throw it down, thus becoming fish rain.

Honduras was once the birthplace of the glorious Mayan culture, leaving behind many Mayan civilization architectural sites and Mayan culture. The ancient city of Copan, located in the northwest of the capital Tegucigalpa, is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is one of the important tourist spots in Honduras and the oldest and largest ancient city site in the Mayan civilization. The square has pyramids, squares, temples, carvings, stone tablets and hieroglyphic stone steps and other buildings. It is a very important archaeological area. It has attracted many foreign scholars to conduct archaeological research and is also one of the important tourist spots in Honduras. More than 200 BC, Ko was the capital of the Mayan Kingdom and the center of scientific, cultural and religious activities at that time. In 1576, Diego of Spain? Garcia discovered the ruins of this ancient city submerged in the grass on his way from Guatemala to Honduras.

Honduras also retains an incredible Mayan legacy of "selling daughter-in-law". In some villages and towns in northwest Honduras, men can "divorce" their wives and auction them at the market, or exchange them with other people's wives. The purchased wife can also be auctioned again. Legend has it that the Mayans killed all captured male captives to worship the gods, while the women could be used as wives or exchanged. There is nothing the government can do about this deep-rooted custom. Nowadays, according to the law, such transactions can only be held at specified "people's fairs" and can only be held every three months.

In the town of Suyaba on the outskirts of the city, there is a statue of the Virgin Mary that is about 80 centimeters high, finely carved and priceless. It is known as the Protector of the Virgin Mary of Suyaba. The famous art shrine of Notre Dame de Suyaba is here. It also brings together the essence of Honduran national art such as sculptures and Indian handicrafts.

In addition, Honduras has two most famous highlights: the Honduras Big Blue Hole

The Big Blue Hole is the largest underwater cave in the world. It is located about 96.5 kilometers off the coast of Belize, adjacent to Lighthouse Reef. The Big Blue Hole has a circular appearance, with a diameter of about 304 meters and a depth of about 145 meters. It is one of the top ten geological miracles in the world. The Dalan Cave is a lime cave formed during the Ice Age when the sea level was low. Later, as the sea rose, the roof of the cave collapsed and became an underwater cave. It is dark blue due to the water depth of 145 meters.

The mysterious and secluded underwater cave is surrounded by elusive sharks. The mystery of the Big Blue Cave strongly attracts brave diving enthusiasts from all over the world to experience it and find out for themselves, which also makes it one of the most prestigious diving resorts in the world.
