Intibucá Department, Administrative department in western Honduras
Intibucá Department covers 3,123 square kilometers of mountainous terrain with elevations reaching up to 3,000 meters above sea level, creating diverse agricultural zones.
The department was officially established in 1883 when Governor José María Cacho proposed dividing the large territory of Gracias into smaller administrative units.
The Lenca people, the original inhabitants of this region, maintain their agricultural traditions by cultivating potatoes, grapes, peaches, and strawberries in the highland areas.
The department contains 17 municipalities connected by a network of roads, with La Esperanza serving as the administrative center for governmental services.
The Mixcure Wildlife Refuge, Toco River Natural Monument, and Opalaca Biological Reserve form a network of protected natural areas within the department.
