San Pedro Sula is the second most important city in Honduras and is known as “The City of Zorzales (Thrush Birds)”, and “The industrial city of Honduras.” San Pedro Sula is part of the largest conurbation in Central America, which unites cities and communities such as Pimienta, El Progreso, Búfalo, Naco, Villanueva, Chamelecón, Choloma and others, a conurbation that exceeds two million inhabitants.

The area of the valley where the city is located is one of the oldest pre-Columbian settlements in central-western Honduras, an area where the oldest sample of chocolate preparation in the world was found. After the arrival of the Spaniards, the city was founded in a different place from the current one, and the place where it is today is located at the bottom of the impressive Merendón mountain range, a nature reserve of enormous wealth.
