Honduras Handbook: Including the Bay Islands and Copan (MOON TRAVEL PUBLICATIONS)

Describes points of interest in each region of Honduras, provides historical and cultural information, and recommends hotels and restaurants

Where else but in Honduras can you find a seamless blend of powdery soft, palm-lined beaches, untouched coral reefs, Mayan ruins, cobblestone colonial villages, dense jungle, monkey-filled forests, and the nicest people this side of paradise? Honduras's appeal is gaining tourist attention, but it's a slow process. You can still wander small villages and be treated with kind hospitality, without the dollar frenzy of more tourism-dependent nations. Honduras Handbook has extensive coverage of hiking, backpacking, scuba diving, snorkeling, and boating; reviews of hundreds of restaurants and hotels; 35 detailed maps; a Spanish glossary with Honduran slang; plus articles on the ruins of Copán, the Bay Islands, and the Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve. It's a good time to go to Honduras, and Chris Humphrey's Handbook is an excellent guide.
