Guanaja
Categories: Honduras geography stubs | Cities in Honduras | Islands of Honduras
Guanaja is one of the Bay Islands of Honduras, and is in the Caribbean. One of the cays off Guanaja, also called Guanaja or Bonaca (or just simply, The Cay), is just off the main island, and contains most of the 5,000 or so people who live in Guanaja. The cay has been described as the Venice of Honduras because of the waterways that run through it. It is completely packed with people and their houses. Both Spanish and English are spoken there. On June 14, 2005 a serious fire broke out on the main island. While there were no human casualties the fire affected the 3 principle sources of water on the island and caused the emigration of thousands of animals.
