...Beautiful view of a little tourist spot in Central American Honduras... one of the most visited towns located about 1/2 hour from capital Tegucigalpa.... a quiet and relax place... the town has been restored to its original 16th-century appearance in parts, especially around the attractive Parque Central... famous for its Spanish colonial architecture, artisan souvenir shops selling Honduran artesanías (handicrafts), great scenery, plus nearby ecotourism... with nice stamps and postmarks... Thanks a lot Cesar!!【ツ】

Valle de Angeles is a very small place in the region of Francisco Morazan. This region was an important mining town in the history of Honduras, with enclaves such as Las Animas and El Socorro, which produced gold, silver, copper, tin, lead and zinc.
In the 1791 population count was part of the parish of Santa Lucia, under the name of the Cimarron or the pigsty. On April 1, 1862, Fray Juan de Jesus Zepeda gave it its current name, and in 1865 it was designated as a Municipality.
