Information | La Ceiba
La Ceiba is the third largest
city in Honduras, and is probably the country's most
vibrant. A relatively young city, it got its name from
a huge Ceiba tree that was next to the beach and provided
shade to the workers at the dock and locals during the
afternoon. It is the capital of the department of Atlantida,
one of the 18 departments of Honduras.
La Ceiba has long been the operations hub of the Standard
Fruit Company, producers of bananas, pineapples, grapefruits
and many other agricultural goods that Honduras exports.
Although La Ceiba is not their port for major shipping
activities, it is their administrative hub. The main
port for their exports is Puerto Castilla, opposite
of Trujillo in the beautiful Bay of Trujillo, 100 miles
east of La Ceiba.
