Nestled in the foothills of the Cerro Las Estuas mountain range, Gracias, the capital of the department of Copán in western Honduras, is a small city that combines colonial history with natural beauty. Founded in 1536, the city was once an important stronghold of Spanish colonization. The old town retains many colonial buildings from the 16th and 17th centuries, such as the Church of San Sebastian and the Colonial Governor's Palace, and exudes a strong sense of history with its quaint stone streets and whitewashed facades. Close to the World Heritage Site of Copan Mayan Ruins, Namasig is at the forefront of exploring the Mayan civilization, and is surrounded by cloudy rainforests and spectacular waterfalls that attract both history buffs and nature explorers. Local cultural events such as the "Holy Week Celebrations" are a unique blend of Mayan and Spanish traditions, making it an ecologically appealing destination in Honduras with both human and ecological attractions.
