San Lorenzo

by atufft

San Lorenzo is the largest Pacific side seaport for Honduras, and so is mostly a gritty industrial town. However, since there is no lodging on the mainland side at Coyolito, and since we missed the last shuttle ferry across to El Tigre, we had to stay the night in San Lorenzo. The old hotel is well worth a night though, as it has a roof top swimming pool and an excellent restaurant serving monster sized shrimp and fresh fruit cocktails. There are other restaurants along a strip at the waterfront too. Don't spent too much time though, head on through to El Tigre

Santa Rosa de Copan

by atufft

This is a sizable city worth visiting for a few hours when in route to Gracias. The old colonial era streets and buildings around the central plaza, as well as the cigar factory are most notable. There are places to stay here, but most travelers move up the mountain to Gracias. It's easy to get lost in the maze of one-way streets, but it's possible to do like we did and park the car a block away from the central plaza and find a restaurant for lunch.

West Bay Beach

by heitzenrater

This is one of the nicest beaches I visited while in Hondurus. The West Bay beach. There are many Scuba dive companies located in this area. Great waters, cheep beer, and a great atmosphere.I got off the cruise ship and Took a Taxi there. Cost was 100 Total for 2 people. It cost this because it was and all day taxi tour. He allowed us to stay there for as long as we wanted too.IF YOU LIKE MY POST PLEASE GIVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK, THANKS.

Women

by AlvinLi

The Women there are exceptional. I do not recomend going "all the way" with them. Me and a mistress that I met there hooked up once and it did not go so well...I did not know that she was a prostitue. We got done, and she robbed me of all that I had. Not to mention she was full of Krabs.

The San Pedro Sula Cathedral

by traveldave

Although it looks like a Spanish colonial cathedral, the San Pedro Sula Cathedral was actually built in 1949, and renovated within the last few years. It takes up almost an entire block east of the Parque Central in downtown San Pedro Sula. Architecturally, the cathedral is in the Spanish colonial style with two pillars and a large central cupola.The interior of the cathedral is covered with religious paintings and carved wooden statues of saints and other Roman Catholic imagery.

Saint Michael the Archangel Cathedral

by traveldave

Saint Michael the Archangel Cathedral is the largest and most important church in downtown Tegucigalpa. (The Basilica de Suyapa is actually larger and more important to the country's Roman Catholics, but it is located in the suburbs of Tegucigapla). The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel, the patron saint of Tegucigalpa. Constructed between 1765 and 1782 in the colonial style of architecture, it boasts two towers and a large dome. Its most notable feature, however, is its intricate gold and silver Baroque altarpiece.During Holy Week, the cathedral hosts the ceremony of the Descent from the Cross, a colorful procession that is but one of many that take place in the city around Easter.

Santa Rosa de Copán

by calcaf38

Santa Rosa de Copán is a pleasant town, well-known as a cigar manufacturing center. It is larger and more "polished" than Gracias, but there is not all that much to do there. The architecture is very attractive, and the climate is relatively mild. If you are in this area, Santa Rosa de Copán is definitely worth a day or two.

Diving Roatan: Sueno Del Mar

by katvg

My cruise (March '09) stopped in Roatan for one day. Prior to the trip, I booked some dives through a local dive shop (NOT the cruise line) -- Sueno Del Mar. They picked me up at the cruise terminal and gave me a ride back. There were three dives scheduled for the day; I did the 1st dive around 9am and the 3rd dive around 1pm. Their operation is very professional & the staff is helpful and friendly. The dive center has some dive gear & souvenir items for sale as well, plus a small bar outside, overlooking their pier & beach. Sueno Del Mar also has rooms to rent but I am not sure what the prices are - check their website if you are interested. They're located near several restaurants/cafes and small shops, right on the beach. It was beautiful. I think the Roatan town itself (near the cruise terminal) doesn't have that much to do, but if you're a diver - it's a good place to visit!

Local Flavor, shopping

by ATexMom

I've lived in Tegucigalpa, Honduras since May 2008. I will be leaving May 20, 2010. I'm with the Foreign Service and my next post is Muscat, Oman.Living in Honduras is a challenge. One of my favorite places to drive to is Valle de Angeles, about 30 minutes outside of Tegucigalpa. There are lots of shops, quaint restaurants and you feel safe there. Be sure to ask the shopkeepers names and shake hands...they will remember you the next time you come in.

Dive, Dive, Dive and Dive again.

by boricuajc

Roatan Island is for diving, so if you don't dive you will be bored very quickly. Roatan Island has the best dive walls in the western hemisphere. If you don't dive and your in Raotan, its a good time to learn to dive. I dove with Anemona Divers. Their located is on the beach right by Foster's Resort. They are right on the water is loading up the boat is quick and easy. The staff I found to be professional and friendly not pretenses as some dive shop on the island can be. Mateo the "Frenchmen" was a delight to dive with as well as Sara and Mira. The two Boat captains are islanders and know the reef very well. I found Anemona to be safety conscious which is very important to me. Their equipment is top notch and well maintained.
