Honduras is a country that has lots to offer, from its luscious mountains to its warm, sandy Caribbean coastline beaches. Honduras may sound like a paradise destination, but a trip there is fairly easy on the pocketbook as it has just sprouted in terms of tourism.
There are plenty of Mayan ruins to check out at Cópan, a town near the Guatemalan border. These spectacular ruins consist of ancient temples, pyramids and stone monuments. Honduras also has 40 protected areas, including 20 national parks. Many of these parks are in remote areas giving the traveler who craves adventure a challenge.
Tegucigalpa, the capital city of Honduras, is also a must-see. Although the name is a challenge to pronounce, the locals call it “Tegus,” which is much easier for must people to say. The city sits at an altitude of 975 meters and is surrounded by mountains covered in pine trees, so it’s always much cooler in temperature than the rest of the country. It also boasts many restaurants and shops for people to browse while staying in the city.
If you travel to Honduras, you must also make a trip to the Bay Islands to snorkel among the beautiful coral reefs and brilliant marine life.
