Comayagua was once the colonial capital of Honduras, and its compact centre still holds one of Central America's oldest cathedrals along with a clock dating back to the Moorish era, reputedly one of the oldest working clocks in the Americas. It makes an easy stop between Tegucigalpa and the western highlands, with a relaxed plaza, colonial architecture, and far fewer visitors than Honduras's better-known towns.

Traveler reviews
★★★★☆
Broke up the drive from Tegucigalpa with a couple of hours in Comayagua and the cathedral was a real surprise, beautiful colonial architecture and barely any other tourists.
Marco D. · January 2024
★★★★☆
The old clock in the cathedral was fascinating, hard to believe something that old still works. Plaza was a pleasant spot for lunch.
Elena S. · March 2023
★★★★☆
Quiet town but the historic centre is well preserved. Good stop if you're road-tripping between Tegucigalpa and the north coast.
