El Porvenir is one of the eight municipalities that make up the department of Atlántida in the Republic of Honduras. It is located on the coastal plain between the Caribbean Sea and the Nombre de Dios mountain range, between the municipalities of San Francisco and La Ceiba. #coneduardoamador #tourism #travel #traveling #honduras #djimini4pro #travel #drone Like the rest of the department of Atlántida, it is connected to the other municipalities and cities via Highway CA13, the longest road in Honduras. The municipality of El Porvenir began as a village called Juan López, founded on June 24, 1857, and received the title of municipality on April 18, 1898. At that time, it was a very prosperous place; banana and sugar companies were already operating and producing in the area. El Porvenir was the birthplace of the Vaccaro Brothers banana and sugar company. Many wealthy people from France, Italy, Spain, and the United States lived there. At the end of the 19th century, the Vaccaro Brothers Banana and Sugar Company was founded here. It was later sold to United Fruit, which renamed it Standard Fruit Company in 1922. To this day, it operates in the municipality's fields, though pineapple cultivation began in 1963. Before that, bananas were grown on the same land. This municipality might have become a great city, but in 1918, an event occurred that changed the course of humanity. The Spanish flu is the most devastating pandemic on record. It affected a third of the world's population at the time, killing almost 3% of the total. It lasted from 1918 to almost 1921, and the municipality of El Porvenir was no exception. It was a devastating blow to the population, and the most striking evidence is the new cemetery that had to be opened as an emergency measure because the original cemetery was overwhelmed by the number of dead. The most compelling proof lies in the tomb with the most expensive mausoleum in the area: the tomb of Louis John Pierre Boesch, who was born in France on September 3, 1857, and died in El Porvenir, Atlántida, on August 19, 1920, at the height of the Spanish flu pandemic. He witnessed the deaths of his daughters and wife in 1919, and a year later, he died himself. He could not be buried in the original cemetery because it was already full. This is conclusive proof of the devastation that the Spanish flu pandemic caused in this region. of the country. The municipality of El Porvenir and its people never recovered from these great human losses, and it was a great setback in terms of human and economic development, evidence of which can still be seen in the two local cemeteries where many people, including very important figures, were buried around the same time. Returning to the case of the Frenchman Louis John Pierre Boesch, his tomb speaks for itself: a marble mausoleum, assembled like a puzzle, carved and handcrafted, which today could cost close to 2 million lempiras, even with modern transportation. This tells us that he was someone very important in his time. El Porvenir is one of the eight municipalities in the department of Atlántida, and its administrative code is 0102. It has a geographical area of ​​277.3 square kilometers and a population exceeding 35,000. It is located 175 kilometers from the industrial capital, San Pedro Sula, and 393 kilometers from Tegucigalpa, the political capital of Honduras. The municipality's economy is based primarily on the cultivation of staple grains and tropical products such as pineapples, which have been grown on a large scale by Standard Fruit of Honduras for over a century. The municipality is dotted with extensive pineapple plantations along both sides of Highway CA13, facing the second highest peak in Honduras, Pico Bonito, which lies within the municipality's jurisdiction. Pico Bonito is the highest mountain peak on the north coast and the second highest in the entire country, surpassed only by Cerro Las Minas, located in the department of Lempira in western Honduras. The municipality of El Porvenir borders the Caribbean Sea along its entire northern edge. The beaches of El Porvenir are not very clean, nor is the water itself, because of its proximity to the city of La Ceiba. The pollution doesn't originate within the community of El Porvenir; rather, the sewage comes from La Ceiba. This is a negative situation, as the problem originates several kilometers away but affects people who have no connection to it. The city's wastewater flows into the Caribbean Sea and mixes with the water. Even after treatment, the beaches appear black sand, but it is actually the sewage that is causing the pollution. There have been many reports of people experiencing itching after swimming in the sea off the coast of El Porvenir. Worse still, this water is carried by ocean currents.
