Honduras Culture, Geography and History

Geography and Environment of Honduras

Honduras is a slice of tropical paradise with both Caribbean and Pacific coasts. The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef is the second-longest reef in the world and makes for stunning diving and snorkeling. It’s also home to the Bay of Islands, each with their own unique character and eco-reserves. For onshore adventure, head inland for fertile lowlands, banana plantations, slow-moving rivers and mountain ranges. Honduras shares borders with Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador.
