Tegucigalpa, Honduras

Capital City

This capital city of 850,848 people has not kept up with its rapid growth, as deficient urban planning and persistent poverty plague daily life. The tax burden is heavy, and the city's hilly geography traps pollution. Tegucigalpa also suffers from the world's highest murder rate, with gang violence a constant headache. While the local economy offers opportunities, this disorganized metropolis is best suited for the resilient and well-connected.
