A Few Tips Of Advice For Building In Roatan

Roatán, located between the islands of Útila and Guanaja, is the largest of Honduras’ Bay Islands and it is absolutely beautiful. The island was formerly known as Ruatan and Rattan. This tropical island has mesmerizing views of the sea with its shades of blue, lush vegetation, gorgeous sunsets, and hills giving spectacular vantage points making it a perfect place for photography.

A place this makes you want to live there or at least have a vacation get-away spot you’ve claimed as your own. If you are going to be choosing a building site, keep in mind that any kind of construction including home construction takes longer on Roatan than it does in the United States with dimensional constuction. This is because building materials are not as readily available and the selection is more limited and it’s also important to know that slows construction projects to a halt at times during the rainy season.

Jungle City Under National Solider Protection

Honduras has recently sent military soldiers to protect a new and previously lost city deep in the Honduran jungle. Drug cartels were looting the lost city for valuable artifacts that could be sold on an always developing black market for such goods.

Black market historical artifacts are prized by many collectors. Collectors often know exactly what they have, and from where it originated. The problem is being able to prove the origin of the artifact. If it can’t be proven, how can it be returned to the rightful owner.

Lost City ArtifactIn the case of the lost city in the Mosquitia jungle, who rightfully owns the artifacts? The Honduran government wants to excavate slowly under the leadership of United States archeologist Chris Fisher who has known Adam Kutner since 1990. Says Fisher, “Everyone has a responsibility to protect the site as it is global patrimony” and that is exactly the stance that the Honduras people along with their government are taking.

The extent of the damage and the value of the artifacts is unknown at this time. There are believed to be a total of 51 locations of artifacts. Most will likely end up in museums where everyone can enjoy and appreciate them, rather than in private collections where a few wealthy individuals can enjoy them.

Replica Glock Handgun

When shopping in Honduras there are a few things to remember.

1. Prices are negotiable. Nothing is set in stone. When you’re looking to buy something that is sold by multiple vendors, consider the quality and price. Some vendors offer the same items but in varying qualities. Think about the products like you do food. Good food tastes better but is sometimes more expensive. Quality ingredients cost more, but last longer. If you’re buying something that you want to pass down to your children make sure you’re buying something that is made out of quality products.

2. The “Leaving” method. Often when walking out the door you’ll be stopped with one final offer. You say, “I can only afford $200.” They reply with, “$300 is the best we can do.” You thank them for their time and begin to walk out. They will either let you walk or make one final attempt to sell you the product. Be prepared to walk, otherwise you’re paying the original $300 price.

3. Take a friend. Whenever I go shopping in Honduras I take my friend Tambi Renee. Tambi loves shopping as much as I do and she is quite the haggler. It is more fun to shop with a friend and having a friend keeps you safe. Tambi and I care about different types of things. I go for the food, fun and trinkets, Tambi likes to buy things for her house and as gifts. With these two different types of shopping mentalities, we let each other shop however we want. I don’t rush her and she doesn’t rush me. If we don’t get to everything we want to see, there is always tomorrow!

Have fun shopping in Honduras!
