When it comes to seaside escapes, Honduras is as good as it gets
Grab your passport and pack your bags—it's time for a great getaway in Honduras! It's a treasure trove of natural attractions so breathtaking, it's easy to believe you somehow stepped into the pages of a travel magazine. You can soak up the Caribbean sun in some of the world's best beaches, discover eerie underwater worlds in the Bay Islands, marvel at the ancient Mayan city of Copan, and make merry with the friendly and delightful locals. Let Honduras vacation rentals be your ticket to the best that this Central American country has to offer.
Mayan marvels will send you back in time
If the walls in the Copan Ruinas Archaeological Park could talk, they'd tell stories of the glory days, when the Copan Valley was the political, religious, and civil center of the Mayan civilization. Pore over the glyphs of the magnificent Hieroglyph Stairway Plaza and imagine what the pyramids, temples, and terraces of the Copan Acropolis must have looked like during the Mayan Classical Period. Honduras vacation rentals in Tegucigalpa will put you close to the Museum for the National Identity, where you learn about the history and formation of Honduras. Close by is the Honduran People Museum, which houses numerous paintings by Honduran artists.
Set your inner beach bum free in Honduras
Slather on the sunscreen and soak up some vitamin D on the white sands of El Soldado Beach, go parasailing in Beach West Bay in Roatan, or enjoy a splash-a-thon with the kids in the calm waters off Deena Beach in Guanaja. Visit Bailey's Key and take selfies with Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and watch breathtaking sunsets over the Gulf of Fonseca in Playa Negra. Get up close and personal with Honduran cuisine, coffee, and tobacco with guided tours in Copan, or shop for wooden carvings, Lenca pottery, and leather goods in the street markets of San Pedro Sula.
It's all about the lush life in Honduras
Honduras literally has innumerable green spaces—think dense tropical jungles and rainforests teeming with wildlife that include the scarlet macaw, howler monkeys, and elusive jaguars. But the country is also home to green initiatives or projects to conserve its natural and cultural treasures. Visit the Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve in La Mosquitia and see lagoons sheltering bird colonies and fish nurseries. Go hiking and bird-watching in Pico Bonito National Park, where programs for forest protection and resource management are in place. Honduras vacation rentals on the Bay Islands will put you close to awesome yet sustainable viewings of whale sharks.
