About Honduras

Honduras is a Central American country bordered by Guatemala to the west, El Salvador to the south and Nicaragua to the southeast.

Like most nations on the continent, Honduras is scattered with ancient Maya ruins, with the most significant found in the city of Copan. It was one of the most important of all Maya civilisations which today, offers some spectacular architecture and fascinating hieroglyphics.

However, Honduras’ most appealing feature is the wide selection of diving and snorkelling spots in pristine waters. Some of the best sites are close to the Bay Islands off the north coast, which are fringed by the second largest barrier reef in the world. They also boast immaculate beaches and lush, forested interiors.

The Bay Islands are popular amongst tourists, so there are decent ferry services available. Multiple crossings are provided every day from the city of La Ceiba on the north coast to Roatan Island, the most visited of the archipelago.
