La Ceiba Honduras 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
operation 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.
