There is a
wealth of information about dozens of wonderful tourist
destinations in Honduras, including the Bay Islands and
Copan Ruins. On the left hand column, we've
provided a selection of websites that we believe will give
you at least a good starting point for investigating all
that our country has to offer. Try

There
are lots of great places to visit in Central America, but my
favorite has to be western Honduras, "El Occidente".
The weather is comfortable and the people are super
friendly. You
should see the cloud forest in Celaque National Park at dawn.
You should snorkel the reefs of the Bay Islands.
See the ruins
of Copan and the surrounding valley at sunset. Rent horses to
take you to a vantage point up in the hills.
Visit
the Flor de Copan cigar factory in Santa Rosa de Copan. I
think it's neat and I don't even smoke.
