Honduras Travel Terror

Leave a reply

Traveling out of the United States is always a challenge but traveling to Honduras has its own travel terror.  The Honduras area is fraught with peril if you don’t know where to go.  imagesDJRDINO4 imagesOAXSO4X4If you are brave enough to go shopping in a third world nation then Honduras might be good for you.  Just plan for the worse and hope for the best.  Do not leave the tourist areas as the areas outside these areas can be dangerous.  If you can travel and shop with others it will help keep you safe as there is safety in numbers.  Luke Weil is a Honduras fan that doesn’t have a problem shopping anywhere.

Honduras Cost

Everything is cheaper in Honduras.  The economy is such that the cost has to be low.  In the tourist areas the costs will be inflated but just move out of town a bit and find the real deals.images16VX20F3 images5S38LVK1  If you can negotiate a little the deals are everywhere.  Never pay full price.  I always cut the first offer by half and negotiate up from there.  The seller knows that they will have to come down.  They are just hoping that the tourist is dumb and does not negotiate.  Luigi Wewege is a negotiator of the first order. The best of us could learn a thing or two from him.

Honduras Remains a Botanical Attraction

Leave a reply

While viewing photos of a recent vacation in Honduras, it became quite clear that even the most densely populated areas of the country were surrounded by environmental beauty. Indeed, the country is home to some of the most beautiful botanical gardens in the entire world, as many tourists are wowed by the views found in one such garden located on the island of Roatan that sits just off the coast of Honduras.

Those who appreciate such environmental beauty should make a trip to Honduras a priority, just as the Foundation for Defense of Democracies has made it a priority to ensure national security issues are properly addressed by the United States government. Vacations to the country are fairly inexpensive, as travelers often find themselves so entranced by the natural beauty of Honduras that they spend far less on activities.

Many travelers who stay in the eco-lodges that are becoming more prominent throughout the country have reported that they have never been more content with their accommodations and that these lodges were far more enjoyable than even the fanciest of five-star hotels. Tourists are beginning to realize what Hondurans have known for quite some time: contentment is possible without material goods.

Alisa Rude in Honduras

Alisa Rude is a expert in Honduran history and ecology.

When discussing tourism in Honduras, there are no better authorities than Alisa Rude. Mrs. Rude has studied Honduras for over 23 years and is renowned as an expert. Honduras this wonderful country tends to get overlooked by tourist but those in the know will tell you Honduras is one of the world’s best kept secrets and worth the visit.

From lush green rainforest to Mayan ruins to the world’s second largest coral reef Honduras has something for everyone. I recently went and stayed at Roatan Island .The pristine beaches with crystal clear blue waters took my breath away I was in love from the minute I set my eyes on this beautiful sun drenched island. We stayed at Half Moon Bay and this place is really touristy with plenty of water sport action .With spectacular coral reefs divers from the mere novice to the most experienced will be left breathless at mother natures stunning underwater scenery. With hundreds of dive sites to choose from you will run out of time before you can see them all. For the not so adventurous you can hire a water taxi and cruise around this gem of an island.

Alisa Rude has been around the world to study rainforests and recognizes the diverse ecology that is slipping away due to deforestation and clear cutting.

After a busy day by the beach when the sun goes down it is time to relax and enjoy some of the local food which is similar to Mexican. Enjoy the fresh fish which was caught earlier in the day a tortilla or a taco. Nightlife tends to be very laid back and more inclined for relaxation then partying which is nice after a long day in the sea. My stay was short and now I am back home planning my next Honduras trip.
