Geography
[edit]The municipality is in the department of Atlantida and borders with the city of La Ceiba, San Francisco. It counts the villages of El Pino[3] and La Unión.[4][5] Much of El Porvenir extends along a coastline. The beach is a popular place for both locals and visitors, especially during Semana Santa. Most of the area surrounding El Porvenir is dominated by pineapple fields.
Transportation
[edit]El Porvenir is serviced by both buses and mototaxies. Buses come at infrequent intervals and depart for either La Ceiba or La Unión. Moto-taxies can only be taken within the city limits, but numerous taxis travel to La Ceiba and further. The CA-13 highway goes past El Porvenir and connects it to surrounding cities and the nearby Golosón International Airport.[citation needed]
