Honduras

This Central American country is off the main tourist circuits, meaning that you, as a tourist, can benefit from great exchange rates and good value experiences! Honduras borders both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean and most of the territory is mountainous with large stretches of undeveloped lowland jungle. The Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve – considered the last lungs of Central America has been appointed a world heritage site. High up in the mountains, the condensation of the persistent clouds have the led to the formation of the “Weeping Woods.” Oldgrove mangrove swamps and lagoons are teaming with life, and make for interesting snorkeling and scuba diving. Honduras was also the site of many Mayan settlements.  The city of Copán is one example of well preserved ruins with varying temples, intricate carvings, tombs and more. Here, there is an abundant amount of high relief style stone sculptures, as well as the only sites with the remains of a Mayan queen. Honduras was once a major banana producer.  On the Caribbean coast, towns such as Puerto Cortes, Tela and Trujilo show remnants of this activity. Come to Honduras for rich adventures and affordable prices!

Copan, Inland Honduras, Honduras
Copán ruinas, beautiful archaeological site. The town itself is also nice, cool, calm, relaxing....
La Ceiba, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
To Utila island there are two ferries a day:
9.30 am and 4 pm. From Utila they leave at 6.20 am and 2 pm.
La Ceiba, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
There is a free guide "Honduras tips". You will find every information in that little book. Hotels, ferry timetables, activities and much more... very helpful!
Utila, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
If you wish to dive Crosscreek Dive Center provides also free rooms to stay and free internet! (2007)
There are double rooms, rooms for 4 and 6 people.
La Ceiba, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Get out to Utila on the next boat!!
Trujillo, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Okay, the town has the same name as a former Dominican dictator, but it is certainly worth a visit. Be it only for the funniest museum I have ever seen. From Maya relics to office equipment from the banana-company and anything inbetween. Take your time, adapt to the leisurely pace and enjoy this qaint little village.
Utila, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Welcome to the diving capital of the world. If you're going to Utila, chances are you're looking to dive. Just about everyone on the island is either on a diving vacation or just learning, as I was. If that's the case, I would highly recommend the Utila Dive Center. I got my certification there in the summer of 2006. It's a party atmosphere, but not at the expense of safety. Everybody there knows that diving is serious fun. The instructors go out of their way to ensure the safety of their divers, and will not hesitate to tell you if they seriously think you are not ready for diving. (That doesn't mean they're rude; it means they're concerned for your safety.) With that, though, everyone there is out for a good time and there is music playing constantly out on the pier. If you dive with them, you'll probably want to stay at the Mango Inn, which is included with their certification courses. I was backpacking when I visited and Mango was a rare bit of luxury after spending months in dingy hostels. There's an outdoor pool on the grounds and it's open all night. There's also a bar and restaurant. It's not a five star resort, but unless you're looking for decoration, tv, and carpeted hallways, it might as well be.
Utila, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
If you're going there and do not dive, be prepared. You better take a book or two and forget about getting any conversation. Anybody there is there to dive or to talk about diving.Apart from that, nice little island.
Tegucigalpa, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Honestly? A dump. The airport is quite pleasant but the rest of town is pretty grotty. There are a lot of beautiful places in Honduras, but the capital isn't one of them. Avoid if you can.
Roatan, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
One of the best dive spots in the Caribbean, and cheap (10 dives US$20 a dive typically). Catch the ferry from La Cieba, get a taxi to West End. There are tons of funky little bars and restaurants, and a lot of dive schools, which encourages competition. I used Coconut Tree Divers, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Oh, and because Roatan was settled by slaves dumped by the British, everyone speaks English not Spanish. Only downside I could find was that the beach has a lot of sandflies.
Tela, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Miami beach is 16km, about 10miles, outside of Tela and might be worth a visit if you want to go swimming. Has a place with free deck and chairs.
Copan, Inland Honduras, Honduras
Copan is nice ruine, nice town, nice guesthouses and good food
Copan, Inland Honduras, Honduras
Make sure to visit the Copan Ruins they're spectacular! You can also pay for a guide who speaks English and will explain everything to you. They also take US dollars
Tela, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
I just want to throw out a warning if you order Margaritas at nine in th morning ask for the alchohal to be in them otherwise they will give you virgin margaritas. So... make sure not to be acting drunk after having a few cuz you could find yourself very embaressed later.
Tela, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
You gotta try the Tela Banana-Coco Drive.... Great Drink :)
Las Flores, Inland Honduras, Honduras
If you are going out to the Mayan ruins in Copan you should rent a horse. It is really neat to ride a horse up to the ruins and you go along a really nice river and everything. Beautiful countryside.
Tegucigalpa, Inland Honduras, Honduras
If you stay at the Intercontinetal in Tegucigalpa than you should defently get some of their sangria. Although, word of warning after drinking said sangria don't climb ont he roof... it isn't a nice roof to be on to begin with and the way down seems to lead you right into the guards office... and they have guns! Stupid Americano seems to work to get them to keep from shooting you.
Copan, Inland Honduras, Honduras
Most people stay in Copan just to see the Copan Ruinas, but this town is amazing. There's something very charming, but very real about this town. It's the kind of place where you can just say goodbye to your itinerary. I highly recommend walking to the Ruinas from town, it's only about a half hour.
La Ceiba, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
La Ceiba is not a place you would probably visit unless you were going to the Bay Islands; however, if you do the Butterfly Museum is worth a visit if you have some time to waste.
Isla de Roatan, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Imperdible... visitar uno de los locales nocturnos ubicados en Half Moon Bay, como cierran alrededor de la 1:00 - 2:00 AM, luego de eso la fiesta sigue en la playa ;)
Tegucigalpa, Inland Honduras, Honduras
Definitivamente "Tegu", ubicada entre puros cerros, es una ciudad peligrosa e insegura... definitvamente hay cosas mejores en Honduras como las "Islas de la Bahía".
Roatan, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Ir a Roatán y no bucear es un pecado.
Pregunten por Wolfang en la playa de Half Moon Bay... fuera de conocer toda la zona como la palma de su mano, es un excelente instructor.
San Pedro Sula, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Do not go in this city in this days, very dangerous, and not that beautiful
Roatan, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
One of our options for shore excursions on our cruise was speedboating in the sea. It was the best time I've ever had!
Tegucigalpa, Inland Honduras, Honduras
As for most central american capitals... dont stick around too long. Rather noisy, dirty and ... grey... I would recommend to go up to the "valle de los angeles", which is close by and very cute. I have no idea about public transportation, as i personally hitch-hiked, which in this particular city was quite a hassle.... make sure you are at the right exit!!!!
Isla de Roatan, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
The view from above-tree canopy-is a must.
Roatan, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Sand fleas are ravenous... Bring bug spray.
Roatan, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
If you can find it, the "Bite on the Beach" is well worth the effort. The food, service and setting can not be beaten. The deck, on which the dinner tables and bar are located, over hang the rocks leading to the ocean. Truly awesome. We were there during a thundershower, but stayed dry at the bar. It's cool.
Utila, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Utila is a great place if you want to dive on the cheap.  Utila Dive Shop is one of the oldest places on the island to learn how and they have a good reputation and great instructors.  The BBQ across the road is yummy with lage portions for those after dive munchies.  Stay at the Mango Inn - it has its own pool and pizza, too.  The locals are friendly and there are lots of travelers to meet.  Just make sure you hide your passport and valubles or lock them away if you can.  Sometimes the locals break in to the bungalows that are closest to their own neighborhoods.  It happened twice while I was there for a week. 
Utila, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
diving is not that cheap as it used to be anymore, but still good. there are plenty of dive operators, but take care and avoid the black sheeps (you will recognize them when you find the cheapest prices in town). The ATM is a piece of sh.. - bring enough money as it works only once in a while...
Isla de Roatan, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
 One of my very favorite dive trips.  Stayed at the CocoView Resort.  It felt like a piece of home, everyone there took such good carer  of us!  Loved our room cabin on the water, heard the waves right under our floor! Wall of screen facing out to the ocean! Awesome diving as well!
Copen, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
It's Copan Ruins not 'Copen'. They are quite spectacular. If you are planning to go and see Tikal in Guatemala, come to Copan first. the town is lovely, lots of nice restaurants, shops and many different things to do. There's a lovely Coffee Finca that you can get to on horseback. Worth the time!
Tegucigalpa, Inland Honduras, Honduras
I'm afraid I drove right by this one.
Isla de Utila, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Budget-Tauchinsel. Ganz schööööön, jawohl. Not so nice beach.
Roatan, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Food Restaurants, go for a cheap delicious meal to the Rotisserie Chicken in West End :-)
Roatan, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Very Beautiful, the jungle and flora and fauna made me feel like I was on the opposite end of the earth
Copan, Inland Honduras, Honduras
this place is amazing!!! The mayan ruins are brilliant. the tour guides speak like 5-7 languages a piece. i highly recommend getting a tour guide over exploring on your own. They have a depth of knowledge. Hotel - Stay at the Hacienda at the top of the mountain in the Town of Copan! It is run on total solar power and is cozy and quiet.
Roatan, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
ATHONY"S KEY RESORTThe best palce to stay if you scuba dive.  One of the best run opperations i had ever seen
Utila, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Great diving, Great nightlife...easy to disappear here for weeks at a time. Underwater Vision Dive shop had good deals and don't over crowd the boats. You must eat Baliadas!! Rent a bike and get one of the divemasters to take you out to the fresh water caves! Whalesharks sometimes hang out on the east side of the island. Coco's, Daves BBq, Bar in the Bush, billiards at Bucket of blood, full moon parties...
San Pedro Sula, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Must see. . . . National Brewerey Drinking out of a 30,000 gallon keg of beer was great!
Tegucigalpa, Inland Honduras, Honduras
you MUST NOT drink the water. but, do visit the outskirts of the city. buy as much coffee as you can find. enjoy the summer rains each evening. visit the nearest United Pentecostal Church that you can find - what an amazing trip!
Roatan, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
quite a small island just off honduras,very poor,great people n a few good activities like kayaking n snorkelling.
Sambo Creek, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
A lot of music and nice beaches
Tegucigalpa, Inland Honduras, Honduras
Nice cities, and great night life lol
Tegucigalpa, Inland Honduras, Honduras
Close your eyes when the plane is landing and clap when you stop!
Roatan, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Coco View Resort - Beach houses with unlimited diving for cheap!! If you're a diver, check out CoCo View Resort. That place has spoiled me for life, all the gear is set out for you and prepped every day!
Roatan, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Beautiful island with a very laid back lifestyle. Mostly for SCUBA divers in my opinion but I could see a great secluded getaway too..
Water Cays, Carribean Hoduras, Honduras
Take a hammock, a nife to cut coconuts, sandfly repellent and enough water and stay the night over. Be sure to maintain everything in proper condition to conserve it's purity. The Island is already suffering the climate changes...
Tegucigalpa, Inland Honduras, Honduras
If you have the guts to travel by bus alone, don't take the window seat as thieves, seated next to you can attack you with a nife, while their is no way out.
Omoa, Pacific Honduras, Honduras
Roli's Place - Go there. Mrs Roli bakes fresh bread every day, there are free bikes available, the rooms are small but comfortable, the grounds are gorgeous and the rates are fantastic, the only downside is Roli himself is a bit grumpy but hey, even paradise isn't perfect...
Tegucigalpa, Inland Honduras, Honduras
Leave Tegu for the interior ideally the Olancho Dept. It is considered the "Wild West" of Honduras by the Honduran people.
