3 Best Sights in Southern Honduras, Honduras

Museo Municipal

Danlí's only true sight, other than its cigar factories, is a small museum documenting the town's history. Tobacco, mining, corn, and cotton have been the four industries that have propelled Danlí's economy, and their history and their tools are well preserved here. The building itself was the one-time city hall and dates from 1857. It's worth a quick look. Hours can be irregular.

Tabacaleras Unidas

This is a much smaller cigar-making operation than the area's other visitor-friendly factory Plasencia. In fact, it might very well be the owner who serves as your tour guide. The tour is in Spanish only; call ahead at least a day in advance.
