Hi! I just bought tix for my Honduras trip..and am leaving in 2 weeks! I need much advice...I am flying into San Pedro Sula...and will be there for 1 week. What are some of the best places in the vicinity (can be a few hours away)...in regards to nature/outdoors/hiking? I would love to do some hiking in some great beauty..where I might even see some wildlife. In one of my guides, I see several National Parks, etc. mentioned..but it is hard to narrow down..any suggestions of where to go? I am also thinking of spending a day at the Copans ruins..is this a must-see? My last visit to Honduras, I spent a week in La Ceiba and Roatan, so this time I want to see other places, my flight is into San Pedro Sula...looking forward to hearing your suggestions!
THANKS!!

Hi everyone,

I wanna make a phone call to my friend in Honduras, but i dont know which is the best calling card i should use. Can someone please tell me or share any idea about it?

I found one that seems to be good. It's from www.pingo.com
Their rate to Honduras is 17.5 cents per minute. What do you think ?

I will be in Honduras for about 12 days in January. I will be stationed in Monte Verde for 1 week with a group, and then would like to spend a few days on my own in another part of the country. I'd like to go snorkelling, lie on a beach, possibly go rafting, and visit the rainforest. Should I be heading to Roatan or can someone suggest a better suited place? Also, how weary should I be as a young white woman travelling on her own? I'm not a naive traveller, but I haven't been to Central America before.

Thanks,
Trudy

please - help me with teh 1 or 2 days planning from antigua to Copan and antigua back !!!

Im planning to go to Copan ruins on saturday early evening and come back saturday night or sunday morning in June 2008. Is it possible to do that?
eventually i can try to go to copan on for 2 days - as many of you recomended;

Do you know any travel agencies which will help to organise it or where i can buy the tickets or see the schedules of the buses in order to better plan my trip???

There were some posts but the links like mayabus and angel... but they did not work or my e-mails sent to the company did not have any respond....

Do you know +/- schedule and cost ? of 2 days trip ( by scheduled bus, hotel, visiting the ruins?)

thnak you in advance for the responce





i will be gratefull for your inf.

I want to come an stay in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.I have children an worry about how safe the country is. All i keep reading on the internet is how unsafe it is.I am from houston,texas in the us.Can anyone help???

Is it difficult to hire a driver to take to me to the El Salvador border? Also, is there anything to see near the border in El Salvador? I know this sounds like a strange question but I'm trying to get to every country I can.

My 12 year old daughter and I would like to visit San Pedro Sula and Copan, But I would rather travel with a family or meet a friend to accompany us. We have stayed in hostels and such in Tikal and San Salvador, so we are familiar with customs of dress in small settings. This may sound weird. But I would like for us to see the ruins and city safely. There is a lot of beauty in Central America. and meeting a new family and friends make the trip so much better. I would not expect to freeload by any means.

Hi! Two quick questions. Your ideas and recommendations greatly appreciated.

1. Does anyone know where on Roatan we might rent a Hobie Cat or Laser (small personal sailboat) for an hour or two? We're not staying at a resort. And we have transportation to get us to wherever we need to go on the island.

2. Which dive shop offers not-the-usual-tourist dive sites? My partner is very advanced and he's looking for something different.

Thanks for your two bits! Have a great day.

Did you use your kitchen at Mayan Princess? Was it easy to go grocery shopping? Would you prefer Mayan Princess & cooking versus All-Inclusive.

what is the best way to get from Copan to Antigua? how long does it take and how much it could cost?

I'm taking a trip to Copan May 4-6 and I have several questions.

1. what would the weather be like?
2. is it safe to explore a place by oneself (not being a part of a tourist group)?
3. any advice on things to do there besides the ruins?

If anyone is in La Ceiba or going there and would like to make some easy travel money I would love it if you could help me. I left my journal In Hotel San Carlos, La Ceiba and I would love to get it back. I stayed there on March 7th under the name Joe BOO. I was in room 19. Hotel San CArlos is two or three blocks north of the square, San Isidro I believe is the name of the street. The lobby of the hotel is also a bakery. I'd say it would be worth 40 bucks or so.

Does anyone have any experiences of the Spanish Schools in Copan?
Also has anyone stayed at the ViaVia Cafe?
thanks

Hey, I'm heading out to Honduras this summer. Most of the time I will be on an "expedition" with operation wallecea but for two weeks at the end of my trip I'm going to do a bit of traveling, possibly on my own.

So basically I was wondering if there are any scams I should look out for and if its safe for a girl to travel on her own. Any advice would be great, thanks!

P.S. Is it hard to find veggie food in resurants out there?

I will be coming back to Honduras March 20-30 with a group of nearly 30 and would very much appreciate information on Saint's Week events near to San Pedro Sula or the coast. Thank you for the help!

Regresare a Honduras el 20 al 30 de marzo con un grupo de casi 30 personas. Me gustaria conseguir mas informacion sobre eventos de la Semana Santa cerca de San Pedro Sula o en la costa. Gracias por la ayuda!

Hi!

Will be traveling to Roatan for the Easter weekend and staying for 7 days.

There will be 2 young children and an elderly female with the group, my question is... how is the food and water safety on the island? If we can only drink bottled water, how can we be sure the food is safe? Hate the way the question sounds, but have to make sure the kids and grandma are safe from any possible stomach bacteria.

thank you so much for any help or advise

in reference to time how long is the drive from el progreso to la ceiba and is it advisable and how safe is it for locals and tourist also the drive from tela to el progreso how long in a car and if its safe thanx

Has anybody bought something from the New Souvenir Shop and had them ship it to the airport near their home ?? I bought something two weeks ago and haven't heard anything from anybody yet. Can you advise me ??

Hi there,
We've been to Roatan and are planning a snorkel trip to Guanaja in March 08. Wonder if anyone has advice on where to stay for best snorkeling with clean, private rooms, good management?
Thank you...

Can anyone provide information on Honduras Plantation Shores?

Will be travelling to Tela and El Progreso. How prevalent are ATMs in these two cities? I assume they give out lempiras. Is it easy to change lempiras back into $US at the airport when we leave?

Hi Everyone,

After spending a couple of months on the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras next May / June I need to meet some friends ideally on Guadeloupe or one of the caribbean islands very close to it. Does anyone know of any ways of travelling across the Caribbean sea by ferry or boat as flights look very expensive

thanks in advance

Hi

I'm looking to hire a car to go from La Ceiba to Tikal, Guatemala. Does anyone know the driving time and if there is a direct route?

If you are anticipating a trip to Honduras in the near future do some comparison shopping on TACA.com

While significantly higher than Spirit on the trip to San Pedro Sula (out of Ft. Lauderdale/Miami) if you fly round-trip via TACA to La Ceiba (LCE) the price comes down dramatically and the arrival-depature times are much better.

I think that I will get to spend three days to relax on Roatan after I finish a project that I have in LaCeiba. I hate to ask a schedule question but there are about 25 websites on my Honduras favorites and very few of them ever state the date of their site. Could someone give me the current sites that will give me an accurate schedule of the fast ferry from LaCeiba to Roatan and then a site for accurate air travel schedule. I think that I will want to fly from Roatan back to San Pedro to get a morning flight out. The dates of my travel will be about 13-16 October of this year.

In first week of November, is it a concern about catching malaria ?

Should I get shots before going to Honduras ?

I am looking for a boat or ferry from La Ceiba, Honduras to Belize City, Belize. If that is not available, does anyone know what route to take in order to get from one to the other? Any information will be helpful. Where, price, phone number, website. . . ? Thanks.

HI.

What is a very good travel/tour company in town to take my wife and i to Rubi Waterfall and Agua Caliente. Also, with the tour company, it is perfectly safe to venture to these wonderful places, yes ? Has anyone been to these places recently ? Thx. We are going at end of October.
