Honduras Summary

The original Banana Republic, a byword for corruption and poverty, Honduras is all too often overlooked by foreign tourists. Many of those who do make it here head straight for the ruins of Copán, one of the finest Maya sites in the region. Some even miss that, in their rush to get to the palm-fringed beaches and clear Caribbean waters of the Bay Islands. Beyond these prime tourist sites, however, is a land of inspiring, often untouched natural beauty.
