Belén is a municipality in the Honduran department of Lempira. The latitude is 15.75 north, the longitude is 87.93 west, and the altitude is 313 meters. Belén is one of the municipalities of the Lempira department. It is located south east from the colonial city of Gracias, following the paved road heading to the Intibuca department. The first big town in Intibuca is called San Juan (del Caite). In order to make it to the center of the town, it is necessary to take a turn off at approximately 24 km from Gracias and then 3 km to the town. The paved road ends at the boundary of the Lempira and Intibuca departments. Currently, the government is still working on a road that was supposed to be finished 5 years ago.
Belén was established as a municipality in 1871, according to old documents that are now kept in the mayor’s office. The origin of its first settlers is uncertain, but it is believed that they were descendants of “”Chorti”” Indians, natives of the western part of the country. First known as “”Curincunque””, Belén appeared in the census of 1791, as part of the “”Curato”” of Gracias a Dios and in the national division of 1889 as part of Gracias district.
