Overview

The mineral wealth of the mountains and the history of San Juancito are deeply intertwined. The region has seen exploitation from both the indigenous Tolupan / Jicaque people and the Spaniards in the 16th century.

  • 🏔️ Before Spanish arrival, the Tolupan / Jicaque people exploited minerals on a small scale.
  • ⛏️ The Spaniards attempted to extract ore in the 16th century using indigenous labor.
  • ⚒️ Gold and silver were extracted from the mountainside during this period.
  • 💔 Poor working conditions and diseases devastated the indigenous population.
  • 🚚 Eventually, the Spaniards left for other sites in Honduras due to a lack of reliable labor.
