Santa Rosa de Copan

Santa Rosa de Copan is located in the heart of mountainous western Honduras. Its altitude of 1,200 meters (3,900 feet) gives Santa Rosa an ideal spring like climate almost year round. The history of Santa Rosa de Copan began in 1765, when the Spanish colonial authorities established the \"Real Factorma de Tabaco\" (royal tobacco trading post) at what is now Santa Rosa. Today Santa Rosa de Copan is the most important commercial and political city in Western Honduras with its major industries being tobacco, beef and coffee production.
