Gracias

Founded in 1536, Gracias is a tiny mountain town in western Honduras and the capital of Lempira Department, with a café and restaurant scene that outpaces its size. Set in highland terrain roughly an hour from Santa Rosa de Copán, it draws independent travellers looking for a base in this mountainous corner of the country.
