Oro Lenca was declared a Cultural Heritage of the Nation by the National Congress of the Republic of Honduras in November 2015.
Oro Lenca represents the pride of Honduras with almost 60 members including dancers, musicians and logistic personnel.
Oro Lenca was founded by Johann Seren Castillo in 2008. Our aim is to celebrate our culture, without distinction based on religion, politics or lineage. The most important thing is to think about peace and friendship between the peoples of Honduras and the world.
