Through the ethnic-cultural union of the various communities existing before Columbus's arrival, the Honduran nation was born.
A bit of history
Binsand raíz wal
Es un plato que toma consistencia a base de frijol y arroz, el cual es muy popular en la Mosquitia hondureña.
With the arrival of the Spaniards, a symbiosis occurred between the indigenous people and the conquistadores, and from this mestizaje emerged the Honduran people.
Among the nine existing ethnic groups in Honduras, we find the Misquito, whose origin dates back to the 17th century, a social and biological mixture of Tawahkas, Africans, and Europeans, who inhabited the north near Cape Gracias a Dios, between Honduras and Nicaragua.
Today, we have the opportunity to enjoy the typical food of Gracias a Dios, the ancestral Misquito cuisine.
