050 Cycle Touring Central America - Part 2

(Leana) #1

(^10) Tegucigalpa – Valle De Angles - 33 kilometres

Following a two-day stay in the city, a clean-shaven Ernest and I followed the road
up the mountain. As foreseen, a steady and relatively steep climb led out of the
valley. Then, following a 33-kilometre uphill ride and numerous stops to fill up with
water, a small but interesting village named Valle De Angles signalled the end of the
day’s ride.
The village was a former colonial mining town and offered an ensemble of old,
restored buildings. The town was lively and where city folk came to spend
weekends. Staying the night came easy as Ernest rightly remarked it’s probably
called Valle De Angles as one likely needed wings to get out of there.
