Honduran People
The country of Honduras is home to people of various ancestries. The Garifuna communities (known in Europe as the Black Caribs) are found on the Bay Island of Roatan, on Cayos Cochinos (the Hog Islands), and along the costal towns. The ancient Mayans left the Copan Ruins archaeological site (considered one of the most artistically advanced and detailed of all Mayan cities), where nearby the modern Maya, known as the Chortí Indians, can still be found. The Miskito Indians' most poular habitat became famous after it was introduced in Paul Theroux's novel, "The Mosquito Coast" which depicted the La Moskitia area. Other ethnic groups include the Lenca, Pech, Tolupan (Jicaque), and Tawahka Indians.

About Honduras Travel and Vacation
While modern day comforts are not only taken for granted, travellers have become so attached to them that they lose contact with, and miss the opportunity of, enjoying nature and simply relaxing to the soothing sounds of it. Although television, internet and all of the modern gadgets are helpful, travellers have become totally detached from simple, down to earth living. Stress has become commonplace, takes away the pleasures of life, and has become all too dominating. This is one of the reasons that many seek to enjoy a vacation; to disconnect from daily routines, and allow, if only for a few days, to come back into contact with nature.
Seeking the perfect destination to spend prized and precious vacation time has become a difficult task. Every day we hear of new, glitzy resorts, and fancy destinations that are all competing for vacationers' holiday time. The most sought after location, especially for the young crowd, is the beach. Sea and sand have a magic allure that attracts many young vacationers who are looking to party, meet other young folks, and forget about their routine tasks back home.
Many middle aged and senior folks, meanwhile, are looking for vacations that can soothe their souls; and there are few places around the world that can still provide that. Central America has many, many different options that fall into this category. Although modernization has come to all big cities in the region, the truth is that life in the smaller villages and towns is still as down to earth as it was a century ago. Small cities and towns where there is plenty of respect for persons, whether local or visitors, where life still is in touch with nature, and the old farming ways. Where instead of having a bottled juice, you enjoy a fresh, natural fruit juice with an authentic taste. Where tropical fruits abound, and visitors are amazed at the variety of flavors and fruits one did not even dream existed. In Honduras, we have all of this for our travellers, vacationers, naturists and adventure seekers.
While you plan your next travel adventure and vacation, consider the best resorts, hotels, and restaurants Honduras has to offer.
Tourist Advice and Vacationers Tips
It is the small touches that Hondurans have to offer which make this Caribbean tourist and vacation destination an attractive option for those seeking to get away from it all. The charming paintings and handicrafts by Honduran artists which line the corridors of hotels, the famous cigars, and vintage, locally made wines and spirits available at restaurants, and the manner in which visitors are welcomed as part of the family, all succeed in creating comfortable and enjoyable vacations.
Honduras is a lovely and unique Central American country, with friendly people, charming colonial cities, and vast expanses of tropical jungle. It has the largest tropical biosphere in North America. It is attractive to adventurers and investors alike, which has led to a boom in the quality of services available to those interested in exploring -either with a backpack on a bus, or first class flights and accommodations. There is non stop service from the North American cities of Miami, Houston, Atlanta, and Fort Lauderdale, as well as Canada, and Milan, Italy. American Airlines and Taca both offer non stop service from Miami. Spirit Air has flights from Fort Lauderdale. Delta Airlines offers daily flights from Atlanta, and United does so from Houston. Flights are also available non stop from Mexico City, Guatemala City, El Salvador and Costa Rica. Daily bus service provided by Tica and Hedman Alas allows one to travel to Honduras while on those world wide backpacking adventures, with the freedom from making definitive scheduled trips. Many tourists who visit the various attractions find it difficult to go home. The majority of the Expats living in places like Roatan, Utila, Copan, Trujillo, La Esperanza, Lake Yojoa, and Gracias, as well as many other "off the map" locations, find that the simple way of life, accompanied by the convenience of making last minute travel plans, provides a comfortable, secure feeling to them and their loved ones abroad. The last thing you will need to worry about in Central America is travel to and from International destinations.
As many have found, the toughest decision becomes whether to leave or just stay for good. Our best advice is to use this guide to assist you in embarking on a voyage you are sure to remember. Our best tip, is to enjoy the journey. Your most treasured moments are about to begin.
