The Honduras territory is largely mountainous, formed by a vast plateau, which stretches from one side to the other of the isthmus, crossed by mountain chains of volcanic origin and a depression that extends from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean. The western mountains have the highest peaks, including the Pico Congolón (2,500 meters) and, the highest mountain in the country, Cerro de Las Minas (2,850 metres), also the eastern cordillera presents peaks exceeding 2,000 metres as the Montaña de la Flor (2,300 meters), Mount El Boquerón (2,485 meters) and the Pico Bonito (2,435 metres). Coastal areas of the Caribbean Sea are edged by lagoons and are sometimes marshy.
