Artesanias Togopala

Top choice in Western Honduras


This little shop just east of Parque Central has a huge selection of gorgeous, handwoven Lenca ponchos, shawls, scarves and more. You'll likely find one of the artists weaving on a loom when you go in. Colors range from very bright local favorites to neutrals that are hard to find elsewhere.
