During the 2010s, the Rivera Hernandez neighborhood of San Pedro Sula was considered the most dangerous neighborhood in Honduras. Six street gangs fought for territory and carried out massacres in broad daylight. Hundreds of families left the area due to threats and extortions, leaving behind “ghost towns” within Rivera.
Instead of forming my opinion of the neighborhood based on social media, mass media, or stigmas, I walk its streets, talk to the locals, try street foods, ride on a bus, visit community projects, and see how the “feared” neighborhood has evolved over the years to get a different side of the story.
