Honduras

7 Ecotourism Stars of Honduras

HermésLeonelVega Though Costa Rica is Central America´s (and perhaps all of Latin America´s) premier star when it comes to ecotourism, there´s also an undersung but incredibly rich trove of eco treasures to be explored next door in Honduras, with lush rainforests and stunning coastlines, among other things.

Garífuna coast cited in '12 Top Destinations for African-Diaspora Travel'

Welcome to February!

So what better way to kick BHM off than with a look at a dozen of the most…

This Tiny Country Is a Less Crowded, Less Expensive Costa Rica

Sorry, Costa Rica, but Honduras is the next Central American hotspot for adventurous travelers who want to skip the crowds and save a buck.

I've been to several parts of Honduras - taken around as a journalist when it hosted the Central America Travel Mart - but they never bothered to show us the capital, Tegucigalpa. So I was curious: is there anything worth going out of your way for in "Tegus"? This article answered my question: sure thing! https://expertvagabond.com/tegucigalpa-honduras/

Thanks Amanda, that's really good to know. To other folks coming into and back to this group, I also want to point you to a piece I did this past summer for the Go-Lo blog, which you could think of as a kind of an "Honduras 101" for visitors. You can check it out by clicking here.
