About
Honduras | |
Honduras is the second-largest country in Central America, bordered by Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. Founded in 1821, Honduras is a peaceful democracy blessed with tremendous ecological and cultural diversity. Visitors here will encounter majestic green mountains, beach paradises, verdant valleys, and lush tropical forests. In fact, Honduras has more of its territory covered by forest than any country in Central America, with three times more forest cover than much-ballyhooed Costa Rica! Honduras hosts more than 10,000 plant species, and many rare animals, in a wide range of ecosystems, including coastal mangroves, extensive rainforests, pine forests in the highlands, and substantial tracts of rare cloud forests. The currency of Honduras is the Lempira, which currently has an exchange rate of 17 Lempiras for 1 U.S. Dollar. The weather is comfortable year-round. The rainy season lasts from June to November, and is characterized by brief, refreshing late-afternoon thunderstorms. The dry season extends from December to May. The hottest and driest months are March and April. The topography of Honduras is very mountainous, so the weather can vary dramatically based on the altitude. Transportation to Honduras is convenient and efficient. The two main cities, Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula, are served daily by numerous major airlines.
