Mapulaca is a small, quiet town in the Valle department of western Honduras, about 120 kilometers southwest of the capital city of Tegucigalpa, in the transition zone between the volcanic belt of Central America and the lowlands of the Pacific coast. Surrounded by fertile arable land, this small, agriculturally based town is home to residents who grow corn, beans, and sugarcane, where the traditional farming culture lives on. Despite its small size, Maplaca is becoming a hidden destination for backpackers looking to explore the Honduran countryside, thanks to its simple people and untouched, untouched landscape. The surrounding savanna and scattered hilly landscapes provide natural delights for bird watching and hiking, and are one of the windows to experience Honduras' native culture.
