Valle de Ángeles, Mountain municipality in Francisco Morazán, Honduras.
Valle de Ángeles is a mountain municipality located at about 1,300 meters elevation, surrounded by distinct peaks on all sides. The terrain defines the shape and layout of settlements within this geographic basin.
The area developed from a colonial parish and was renamed in 1862 by a religious figure. This change in name reflected a shift in how the community was recognized and governed.
Local artisans here continue working with traditional wood carving and pottery techniques that have been part of community life for generations. These crafts shape the character of the place and are visible in homes and workshops throughout the municipality.
The municipality is connected by a paved road to the nearest major city, making it accessible throughout the year. The high elevation means cooler temperatures and different weather patterns than lower regions.
The region has a significant mining past when various minerals were extracted from local deposits, shaping its early development. Traces of this economic activity remain visible in the landscape and local memory.
