San Pedro Sula, Industrial hub in northwestern Honduras.

San Pedro Sula stands in the Sula Valley, 50 kilometers south of Puerto Cortes, serving as the primary manufacturing center of Honduras with over 1.4 million residents.

Pedro de Alvarado established the settlement in 1536 near Choloma, transforming from a small village into a major city through banana trade development.

The city maintains multiple educational institutions, including Universidad de San Pedro Sula and Universidad Catolica de Honduras, contributing to regional academic advancement.

The metropolitan area follows a structured layout with streets running east-west and avenues running north-south, facilitating navigation through distinct quadrants.

San Pedro Sula operates an industrial free trade zone established in 1976, supporting the production of textiles, foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, and various manufactured goods.
