Walking around the Honduran cities of Tegucigalpa and Comayagua will show you the life – and architecture – from more recent historic periods.

A change of pace beckons at the beaches of the Bay Islands on the Caribbean coast. A different world too, as you dive beneath the waves to encounter the curious marine denizens of Earth’s second largest coral reef system.

Pico Bonito National Park, with its cloud forests, dry lowlands, picturesque rivers and dense jungle, gives you the opportunity to watch audacious birds, wild pigs, monkeys and even jaguars in their natural habitat. But for a different sort of wild life, visit Honduras to see the vivacious Easter festivals, the musical celebrations of Feria Juniana or the multi-cultural party that is the National Garifuna Festival. And for a true fiesta, join over 250,000 Hondurans in La Ceiba for a full-on, week-long street party.
