Honduras – Honduras' Capital is Tegucigalpa 

(Pronounced hon-dewr-uhs and tuh-goo-si-gal-puh)

To remember the capital of Honduras, use the following mnemonic:

The honk is due (Honduras) to the car; the toot is due to the goose galloping past (Tegucigalpa). You would expect the honk and the toot to be the other way around.

Interesting facts about Tegucigalpa:

- Silver Mining Origins: Tegucigalpa was founded in the sixteenth century by Spanish settlers primarily as a booming center for silver and gold mining rather than an administrative capital.

- Twin Cities Layout: The capital is actually a twin city municipality formed by Tegucigalpa proper and its sister city Comayagüela, which lie on opposite sides of the Choluteca River.

- Hilly Terrain: Unlike many capital cities built on flat plains, Tegucigalpa is nestled in a rugged, mountainous valley, meaning its neighborhoods and streets climb steeply up the surrounding hillsides.
