The country of Honduras is a beautiful, mountainous place with incredible, hospitable people.  Honduras is also rich in history, culture and natural resources.  Traveling to the city of Copan provides a great opportunity to visit ancient Mayan ruins.  Traveling to the Honduran island of Roatan offers an incredible journey to the largest barrier reef in the western hemisphere.  Flying into San Pedro Sula, you will see large banana and pineapple farms from the air.

Honduras is a country that is rapidly modernizing with infrastructure and all the amenities that go along with it.  What does the society demand with the modernization?  Electricity!  And not only that, but reliable electrical power.
