Lets Go Honduras   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) Catacamas, the second city of department is on the other hand more of a traditional Spanish colonial atmosphere, with a rural flavor and far less cosmopolitan. Catacamas is the closest community to the Talgua Caves Eco-archaeological park, which is located only 10 km.

[No title] Yes, I went to the municipality of Catacamas in the department of Olancho, Honduras with my friend Betsy to explore the caves of "Talgua," which supposedly means "earth and water" in some indigenous language. Catacamas is much bigger than I thought, and it is quite an organized little town. Catacamas is actually a very safe little town, as you might imagine, when the price for a crime, or even and accident, is so high. www.xanga.com /slawrence5/578063302/bat-guano.html   (1518 words)

The News Leader - www.newsleader.com - Staunton, Va.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) Catacamas has been diagnosed with Chagas, a rare parasitic disease that is spread by an insect and less commonly, a blood transfusion. But for Catacamas, who suffers the disease’s horrors daily, any case of Chagas is one case too many.

Honduras: International delegation documents serious problems in Olancho In all the cases reported by the delegation, the link between forest logging and water scarcity is highlighted, as for example in San Pedro de Catacamas, where the disappearance of wells has led the population to block systematically the log-transporting trucks in their municipality. In both cases depredation affects the water supply for the affected population (scarcity due to logging of the forest and cyanide contamination in the case of mining exploitation). In spite of this, the inhabitants of San Pedro de Catacamas live with the effects of previous exploitation, droughts being the hardest felt consequence. www.wrm.org.uy /bulletin/74/Honduras.html   (1082 words)

Fifty-Year Flood-Inundation Maps for Catacamas, Honduras After the devastating floods caused by Hurricane Mitch in 1998, maps of the areas and depths of the 50-year-flood inundation at 15 municipalities in Honduras were prepared as a tool for agencies involved in reconstruction and planning. The 50-year-flood discharge for Río Catacamas at Catacamas, 216 cubic meters per second, was estimated using a regression equation that relates the 50-year-flood discharge to drainage area and mean annual precipitation because there are no long-term stream-gaging stations on the river from which to estimate the discharge. The drainage area and mean annual precipitation estimated for Río Catacamas at Catacamas are 45.4 square kilometers and 1,773 millimeters, respectively. pubs.usgs.gov /of/2002/ofr02248   (447 words)

Cave Story 1: The Cave of the Glowing Skulls by Children's Author James M. Deem The Cave of the Talgua River (La Cueva del Rio Talgua) is exactly what many people picture when they hear the word "cave." Located near the town of Catacamas, Honduras, its chambers are filled with formations shaped like stone waterfalls as well as a rushing stream that twists and turns through the entire two-mile cave. No one knew, though, that the Cave of the Talgua River held a very special treasure until a day in April 1994 when Jorge Yanez and three friends waded through the stream to a spot halfway into the cave. Curious about this possible passageway, Jorge hurried back to Catacamas and returned with a ladder. www.jamesmdeem.com /cavestory1.htm   (527 words)
