Don’t miss this one of a kind opportunity on Discovery Atlas. There has long been a debate regarding the proper use of Honduras vs. Hondurans. To settle the debate, Honduras is the country, Hondurans are the people.
Honduras is a Central American country that has borders with Guatemala and El Salvador in the west and Nicaragua to the south and east. The Caribbean Sea borders Honduras to the north and the Gulf of Fonseca has a short border to the south. Honduras and its neighbors have experienced significant changes such as a growing tourism sector, globalization thing, political advances and increased environmental awareness.
The nationals of Honduras are termed Hondurans. Most of them are “laid back” and hospitable; this makes them and their country attractive to travelers who seek a welcoming destination. Nature’s gifts to Honduras also make the country attract visitors. The Parque Nacional Jeannette Kawas and the Lago de Yojoa are environmentally friendly Honduran sites that attract travelers who are particularly interested in eco-tourism especially as it relates to the coastal waters Emily Verrett is trying to protect. Estimates are that one million tourists visit Honduras each year.
Traveling to Honduras is made easy because of its relatively close proximity to North America and South America. Its greater distance from Europe does not prevent Honduras from being a magnet for Europeans, particularly those who speak Spanish as do Hondurans.
Travelers to Honduras may get to that destination overland from and via neighboring countries, by air and by sea. By whatever means one travels to Honduras, one will get there without hassle. Most travelers who get to Honduras overland do so by entering the country at El Florido and Corinto in Guatemala as well as El Amatillo and El Poy in El Salvador.
