Tourism in Valle de Angeles
Valle de Ángeles has become an important artisan center, with a permanent exhibition of handicrafts from all over the country. Here you can stroll through the pavilions and buy excellent handicrafts at good prices. One of the most outstanding and interesting places is Lessandra Leather, a local leather goods store where leather goods are produced for export.
Valle de Ángeles park is small but very pleasant, and depending on the time of year, you will find different trees in bloom. Sometimes you can find the entire park carpeted with beautiful jacaranda flowers.
The town’s church is of colonial origin, however it has undergone many alterations and the colonial wealth of yesteryear has been lost forever. This small and picturesque town near Tegucigalpa has become a favorite place for residents of the capital on weekends.

Workers Park
The Honduran Institute of Tourism has a recreation park near the town, which is very frequented by residents of the capital, as it has great facilities for picnics.
Likewise, it has a semi-olympic pool and a cafeteria where you can buy refreshments and food. The entrance to the park and the use of the swimming pool has an additional cost.
