About Honduras

Honduras stretches across Central America from the Caribbean coast and Bay Islands to Pacific shores in the south, with pine highlands and rainforest between. The Maya site of Copán, the dive reefs around Roatán and Utila, and the coffee country near Lake Yojoa are its signature stops. The dry months from December to April suit diving and ruins, while the rains from May to November bring greener landscapes and afternoon downpours.

Did you know?

Honduras holds part of the Mesoamerican Reef, with diving centred on Roatán and Utila.
Copán's Maya ruins include one of the finest surviving hieroglyphic stairways in the Maya world.
The country's name is said to come from the deep waters off its coast, noted by early Spanish sailors.
