📍 Geographic Location of Amarat/Marcala
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The area code 2764 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the region encompassing Amarat and Marcala in the department of La Paz, Honduras. This code serves the western part of the country, an area known for its coffee production and mountainous terrain. The administrative jurisdiction includes the municipality of Marcala, which is the commercial hub of the region, and the surrounding rural communities that rely on fixed-line PSTN services.
Dialing Formats and Number Structure
In the national dialing format, subscribers within Honduras must dial the full 8-digit number, which includes the area code 2764 followed by a 4-digit subscriber number. For example, a local call to a fixed line in Marcala would be dialed as 2764-XXXX. When calling from abroad, the international format requires the country code for Honduras, +504, followed by the complete 8-digit number, omitting any trunk prefix. Thus, an international caller would dial +504 2764-XXXX. It is important to note that Honduras uses a closed numbering plan, and there are no trunk prefixes or area code truncation rules.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Currently, there is no overlay code for this geographic area; the code 2764 is exclusively assigned to the Amarat/Marcala region. However, as part of the national numbering plan, the Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL) may introduce overlays or reallocations in the future to address number exhaustion. Subscribers are advised to always store numbers in the international format (+504 2764-XXXX) to ensure dialing consistency, especially when using VoIP or mobile services that may require the full international number.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within Honduras, simply dial the 8-digit number 2764-XXXX from any fixed or mobile phone. For callers outside Honduras, the sequence is: international exit code (e.g., 00 or +) followed by 504 and then the 8-digit number. For example, a caller in the United States would dial 011 504 2764-XXXX. Mobile users in Honduras can dial the number directly without any additional codes, as the national numbering plan is uniform across all networks.
