Travelling in Honduras

Experience Honduras, mysterious archaeological sites, amazing wildlife and stunning beaches.

Honduras also has great beaches along its coastlines and of the coast in the Bay Island, offering the chance to unwind and to snorkel among colourful corals. Get off the beaten track and explore the rainforest, home to abundant wildlife where you could witness kinkajous, snakes, frogs and more.

  • Be very cautious in cities, especially San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa, which both have gang problems (though travelers are rarely targeted). Walking in the center in daytime is usually fine.
  • Don’t show off your belongings, never walk alone or down side streets in unfamiliar areas, and always keep an eye out for people approaching you: daylight robbery in the street is common.
  • Avoid travel at night, though always take a cab if you have to go out.
  • Small towns are generally much safer than big cities. Watch yourself on the north coast, especially on the beach.
  • It's best not to walk alone on city beaches in Tela or La Ceiba, by day or night
