The Puerto Cortez (Honduras) ferry leaves every Saturday morning around 9, though probably later, from the docks at Dangriga. The ferry operators make smooth work of the passport control, for which you need to arive a tad early, though after the three hour ferry you are on your own to find the customs office in Puerto Cortez. Barter before making a deal with the money changers, they will offer bad rates at first. Also barter with the cabs that offer to take you to the customs house. It is not close to the port, so a cab is necessary, though you shouldn't pay more than 2 USD. The bus station is just around the corner from customs and there is an hourly service to San Pedro Sula, Ceiba, and other North Coast destinations. Theme: Ship/Boat

Jalone (Ha-lone) is the Honduran word for hitchhike. Most people are willing to stop and pick you up and I imagine it is safe to do almost anywhere outside of the big cities. Always ask people how much money they would like for the ride, though people rarely accept anything. Do not jalone at night and it is probably safer to do with more than one person.

Any fligth from Houston, Miami, New Orleans, Panama, Madrid, etc. Or by road from the United States all the way down to Panama trougth the 'Carretera Panamericana'and crossing all the five central american countries, Guatemala, El Salvador, then Honduras and Nicaragua, Costa Rica and then Pánama.
You can travel inside Honduras by almost any kind of tranportation, we have good transportation by bus, good roads and air transportation. No trains from Tegucigalpa, we don't have trains here, they are limited to the north cost of the country and it is not a good tranportation for people. Leave a Comment

Our mode of transportation was usually in the bed of a pickup truck, but we saw several of these carts on the road. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

We were on the main highway through the country, and had a great opportunity to explore the local towns with the bus system. The bus took us to any of the local villages in the area, very safely and efficiently. I don't remember the cost, but it was not expensive. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

There are several tours from Guatemala to Copan, Honduras. The cheapest price I found were 15 USD from antigua to copan, only one way transport fee, and 60 USD including a night in a hotel and free entrance to the ruins.
i did it by local buses, only 3 USD From G. City to Chiquimula, then 1 USD to the border town of El florido, and then 1 USD to copan, a total of 5 USD! and 3 hours and 30 min lentgh.
From Guatemala city to Chiquimula the scenearywasnt big deal. When in chiquimula change bus and take a small one or a pick up that will take you to el florido. it must be full of locals, after many stops on the way youlll be at town of amotan, the car must be empty here, wait for 10 minutes and headed to el florido.
I saw in the route betwen El Florido and Copan the drivers were asking 20L to the foreigners, but that is ilegal, i told the driver people in the hotel told me just 15L and he agree, but after all, it was only 5L, about .30 cents USD.

I am a New Zealander and both times I came to Honduras from there. I flew to LA first and then took an American Airlines flight to Miami. From there you can fly into either Tegucigalpa or San Pedro Sula.
It is possible to travel overland into Honduras but I haven't tried it. I have heard that there is a good border between Guatemala and Honduras near Copan.
Getting around Honduras is fine by bus. The distances are long and the buses aren't supersonic but it gets you from A to B cheaply (and I believe) safely. I have never had any trouble with pickpockets or bag slashers etc on any bus in Honduras. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

You'd think that a taxi driver of all people would know the names of at least the main streets in a town. not so in tegucigalpa. really, i didnt get in one cab with a driver to whom i could give the address and have him go, oh, ok, no problem. however, many are happy to let you get into the cab knowing full well they dont have a flippin clue where you want to go and hope that it will somehow become clear as they drive around the city aimlessly. you really need to know landmarks (accross from the embassy...a block from the park...) and use directions like "two blocks up from the cathedral and 5 blocks to the left..." to explain where you want to go.

In La Ceiba you cut your cab fare (into town) to $2.00 US by walking out a couple hundred meters to the main road (I believe $8.00 US is the cost from within the airport parking lot).
This general rule of thumb can be applied to pretty much any airport in Central or South America. You may want to ask a 'badged' airport official about safety outside the airport before making this decision though. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
