2 Best Sights in Valle de Ángeles, Tegucigalpa

Little Valle de Ángeles has a surprisingly decent museum, the Museo Santa María, with a flashy, musical Web site. The museum houses several displays about the history and culture of Valle and surrounding area, and is especially strong on the region's mining heritage.

The center of Valle de Ángeles can seem like one big artisan market, especially on weekends when visitors come out here from Tegucigalpa. You'll never see so many T-shirts, but there is much more for sale here. Wander inside the Pabellones Artesanales. The name means "artisan pavilions" in Spanish; you'll find Lenca pottery, handcrafted leather, dolls, and straw mats, all at prices lower than you'll find anywhere back in the capital.
