Country Information
Honduras is in the north-central part of Central America and has a Caribbean as well as Pacific coastline.
Considering the wonders Honduras has to offer, it is relatively undiscovered, making a visit here extra special. The country retains much of its traditional culture and infrastructure as well as vast areas of unspoilt landscape, so the traveller can taste the authentic flavour of Central America here in all its glory. Boasting Caribbean beaches, dense tropical rainforests, beautiful islands and the remains of ancient civilisations, Honduras is a destination for escape and relaxation. Larger towns and cities share this traditional atmosphere but also offer modern attractions and a vibrant nightlife.
