A number of units of measurement were used in Honduras for length, mass, volume etc.
[1][2] Before the introduction of the metric system, a number of modified Spanish (Castilian[2]), English and local units were used, and continue to be used today by a large part of the country.
1 legua = 5,000 varas[3] The manzana was used by farmers to measure land area.
For large areas, land was customarily measured in labors or legua.
[3] 1 manzana = 10,000 vara2 = 1.727 acres = 6,989 m2 ≈ .7 hectare[a] 1 labor = 1 million vara2 1 legua[b] = 25 labors = 25 million vara2 Several units were used to measure mass in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador.
