Atlántida Department, Administrative department in northern Honduras
The Atlántida Department spans 4,227 square kilometers along the Caribbean coast, featuring both mountainous terrain and coastal plains with numerous rivers.
The department emerged in 1902 through a territorial reorganization that combined sections from the existing departments of Colón, Cortés, and Yoro.
The department contains eight municipalities, with La Ceiba serving as both the capital and the third largest metropolitan center in Honduras.
The Hospital Atlántida in La Ceiba functions as the primary medical facility for the department's population of approximately 450,000 residents.
The Sierra Nombre de Dios mountain range within the department includes Pico Bonito, which marks the highest elevation point in the region.
