Tegucigalpa - Post Report Question and Answers
What have been the highlights of your time in this country? Best trips or experiences?
Trips to the coast have always been worth the drive. The time of year doesn't even matter with the weather being beautiful year-round. - Mar 2024
Going to Tela/El Sal/Comayagua/Omoa/Tigra/Valle - Jan 2024
We've loved visiting all the fun things around Copán Ruinas...Macaw Mountain, visiting a working ranch, hot springs, Mayan ruins. We've loved driving into El Salvador for the beautiful beaches that aren't very commercial, and are affordable for large families. We enjoyed a long weekend in Nicaragua, but won't return until the political landscape there is less adversarial towards US citizens. - Aug 2023
We have travelled all over Honduras and loved every part. Diving and snorkeling at Roatan and Utila is great. White water rafting near La Ceiba was a definite highlight. Western Honduras has Mayan ruins, canopy ziplines, hiking and many waterfalls. We took full advantage of being in Central America and travelled to Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Panama, and even drove up through Mexico to Cancun while here. - Oct 2019
Copan Ruinas, Amapala, Gracias, Panacam park, caves of Taulabe and Talgua have been excellent trips. Local jaunts to La Tigra park for camping and hiking have been wonderful experiences with my kids. I've enjoyed the challenge of discovering all the fun things to do in Tegucigalpa, beyond the typical line that there's nothing but malls and drive-throughs. Being in Honduras is a luxury in the Foreign Service; it's close to the States, it's got enough familiar things to keep you from getting homesick, the electrical outlets are the same. My mother got to visit us a lot more than she would have if we'd lived in Africa or Australia. She appreciated the no-hassle flight, the lovely weather, just sitting around in a lush garden. - May 2018
Coupon ruÃnas and Cayos Cochinos. Not Roatán - it is ultra-touristy and people try to sell you bracelets and tours when you are trying to relax. The diving/snorkeling is incredible. - May 2018
The perfect weather. Road trips to Copan Ruinas, the Caribbean coast, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. Scuba diving on Roatan and Utila. Regional travel around Central America and a couple trips to South America (though this was expensive). Cheap 5 and 10k road races. - Apr 2018
Copan is the only decent place in country to vacation. - Jun 2016
- Day trips to the jungle north of Lago Yajoa, Yuscaran and Amapala. We found Roatan slightly overrated, but worth going if you're a small family (cheaper - we have 4 kids). - The people. We have Honduran friends. This isn't always the case. We didn't, for example, find the Senegalese particularly friendly (but their Gambian cousins are!). - The weather. - The hills of Tegucigalpa are pretty at night. - Feb 2016
Fresh tropical fruits, flowers blooming year round in my yard. - Aug 2015

Trips to Roatan, Antigua, and Guatemala. - Mar 2014
Community services, you can really do a lot . Travel to Roatan,(Caribbean) - the largest of the Bay Islands and offers the most services for travelers and locals alike. In my opinion, Roatan, is the best island for vacation. Roatan, has about 40,000 friendly, outgoing inhabitants who speak Spanish and English. - Jan 2014
