| Long
an important center for the Mayan culture, Honduras now
peaceful presents and location is a tourist destination.
Like all Central American countries, Honduras is hot and
humid throughout the year, with some moderation in the
inland highlands. Its ancient ruins, beaches, rain forests
and mountains are all impressive, and when combined with its
friendly people, Honduras is growing in popularity as a
travel destination. The Bay Islands 40 miles off the
northern coastline, offer some of the finest diving and
snorkeling venues in the Western Caribbean. |
