Honduras Travel Tips
Take
the bus
Plane flights
are notoriously late. It's just as easy to move
around the country by express air-conditioned buses. The Helman
Alas bus fleet has seats as
comfortable as your favorite overstuffed chair.
TV monitors
play feature movies in English with Spanish subtitles, which
makes everyone happy.
The buses run
non-stop between 4 destinations: Tegucigalpa,
San Pedro Sula, La Ceiba and Copan Ruinas. For rates and schedules,
call the main office in San Pedro Sula at 504/553-1361.
What
to avoid
Avoid
the sand flies on the Bay Islands. Locals warn that
only repellents with DEET are effective. The sand flies
are at their most ferocious early and late in the day.
Avoid
visiting the coast in March and April
when slash and burning by farmers creates considerable air pollution.
Avoid
forgetting a rain jacket. Frequent showers keep the landscape green.
Avoid
spending all your time on the Bay
Islands instead of the mainland. There's so much more to do
and see on the mainland.
