Travelling in Honduras

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

Honduras is a vibrant and fascinating country. It’s also the second biggest and second most populous country in Central America, although not often visited. Honduras is best known for Copan, a well-preserved Mayan archaeological site, not far from the border with Guatemala. Copan was once one of the great centers of the Mayan civilization, and todays ruins are simply beautiful with impressive pre-Columbian art. 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.

It is definitely a surprising destination!
