  • I will never forget the day I visited Comayagua, a small colonial town in Honduras. On the one hand it is a very beautiful town with very friendly people who will always help you with anything you need. However, I met 2 little street hustlers who showed me the rough side of Honduras where many children have a different reality and problems to deal with than most of us have had.
    I hope this video helps you understand their situation and if you ever see similar legends in a country you are exploring, you will know how to make their day that much better!!

    The oldest clock in the western world is located there in that cathedral, it was a gift from the king of Spain to Honduras in colonial times. The clock was built in the year 1000.

      That's cool to know. I saw the second oldest clock in the Americas in Mérida, Venezuela some eight years ago and I always wondered where they had that oldest clock 😉

      "The worlds oldest surviving working clock is the faceless clock dating from 1386, or possibly earlier, at Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire, UK. It was restored in 1956, having struck the hours for 498 years and ticked more than 500 million times." -guinnessworldrecords
      "The Comayagua cathedral clock, also known as the Arabic clock or the Comayagua clock, is a gear clock dated from the medieval times located in the city of Comayagua, in the Republic of Honduras. It is considered the oldest clock in the Americas and the oldest gear clock in the world still in operation since it has been working for more than 900 years." -wikipedia
      Am I missing something or are these sources contradicting each other? I wonder which one is actually the oldest.

    🥲❤️Thank you so much for sharing this video. It’s not easy in Honduras. Yes the kids are poor and their parents make them have responsibilities at a very young age. However the majority of these kids are very smart and super advance for their age. You have an amazing heart. It was great seeing the Cathedral that my great grandmother was baptized. There is a lot of Spanish descendants but the majority of them are politicians doctors business owners etc….

I have a friend who moved from Tegus to Lepaterique with her family when the gangs forced them out of their living quarters in Tegus because the landlord wouldn’t pay the gang tax. You could probably interview her and family about their experiences both positive and not so positive.

    Comayagua is safe during the day most places. Worst chance is to get robbed by a couple guys on a motorbike. That or sketchy guys walking the streets at night. At night its dangerous in the hills above Comayagua as well as the southeast neighborhoods and most outlier areas from the urban center. Never had issue at night at specific locations if I travelled by personal auto or taxi around the urban core. Had a few parties private until late at night and no issues when in a group. Just dont walk alone at night or stand out too much near where you stay.
    Also did you not check out the open air markets and mall? That place is crazy busy and fun to shop in lol.
