Copán Honduras
Off to Hounduras
Bordered to the west by Guatemala, and to the southeast by Nicaragua, Honduras is a republic in central America.
Visit the Copan ruins, which is where the Mayan culture flourished. They were declared a world heritage site in the late eighties, and the ruins are complex structures, offering plazas and temples in their scores. Visit the great plaza, a collection of buildings gathered around a large lawn,. See tunnels, pillars and rooms and visit the museums to see artefacts and remnants from such a thriving time.
Visit the island of Guanaja, and step back in time. Here the houses are built on stilts to protect them from the waters, and no establishment on the island accepts credit cards or travellers cheques. No cars are allowed, and even bikes are prohibited from use,. You can experience scuba diving, white water rafting and reef fishing here if you are a bit more of a daredevil, or you can just relax and soak up the rays on one of the beautiful beaches.
Visit on e of the national parks on the mainland and see scores of howler monkeys in their natural habitat. The country is plagued by unemployment and HIV/AIDs, but the country is experiencing a revolution and rising from the folds of a little country, to improve its social systems and economy.
Honduras is really accessible, taking only one hour and fifty five minutes from Miami. There are plenty of little islands, or cays, to visit.
If you are planning on visiting Honduras, make sure you have your passport and Travel Insurance, and get going!
