Honduras holidays

Straddled by the Caribbean to the east and the Pacific to the west, Honduras is a Central American holiday destination well worth considering. While Honduras holidays were effectively put on hold after Hurricane Mitch devastated much of the country in 1998, international aid quickly rebuilt much of the infrastructure and today the country has a rapidly expanding tourism sector.

There are still big problems in the country with HIV and gangs which is why guided tours with trusted operators still make a lot of sense.

The big drawcards to Honduras are extensive white sand beaches, great snorkelling, loads of tropical wildlife including Howler Monkeys, Macaws, Jaguars, Toucans and Sloths, amazing Maya ruins and world-class bird watching.

Tours in Honduras can take you to spectacular waterfalls, lush rainforests, remarkable archaeological sites and palm-fringed Caribbean beaches, not a bad line up for a country you may never have considered visiting.
