Honduras has three distinct topographical regions: an extensive interior highland area and two narrow coastal lowlands. The interior, which constitutes approximately 80 percent of the country's terrain, is mountainous. The larger Caribbean lowlands in the north and the Pacific lowlands bordering the Golfo de Fonseca are characterized by alluvial plains.
Tegucigalpa is the capital city. Other major cities include San Pedro Sula and La Ceiba.
Highest point of Honduras is the Cerro Las Minas rising to 2849 m above sea level.
