Comayagüela

Comayagüela is one of the two cities that form the capital of Honduras, along with the capital district of Tegucigalpa. Located in the central highlands of Honduras, it lies across the Choluteca River from Tegucigalpa. The two cities are often referred to collectively as "Tegucigalpa" or "Comayagüela, Tegucigalpa" due to their close proximity and shared administrative functions.

Historically, Comayagüela developed as a separate entity, often seen as a commercial counterpart to Tegucigalpa's governmental role. The river serves as a natural boundary, though numerous bridges connect the two urban centers, facilitating daily life and economic activity for their residents. The population of Comayagüela is substantial, contributing significantly to the overall metropolitan area's demographics and economic output.

The city shares the administrative responsibilities of the capital with Tegucigalpa. This includes hosting various government institutions, commercial enterprises, and cultural sites. Together, they form the most populous urban area in Honduras and serve as the nation's primary economic and political hub. The development of infrastructure, including transportation networks and public services, is a shared concern for both municipalities. Comayagüela's role in the Honduran economy is multifaceted, encompassing trade, industry, and services.
