Where else but in Honduras can you find a seamless blend of powdery soft, palm-lined beaches, untouched coral reefs, Mayan ruins, cobblestone colonial villages, dense jungle, monkey-filled forests, and the nicest people this side of paradise? Honduras's appeal is gaining tourist attention, but it's a slow process. You can still wander small villages and be treated with kind hospitality, without the dollar frenzy of more tourism-dependent nations. Honduras Handbook has extensive coverage of hiking, backpacking, scuba diving, snorkeling, and boating; reviews of hundreds of restaurants and hotels; 35 detailed maps; a Spanish glossary with Honduran slang; plus articles on the ruins of Copán, the Bay Islands, and the Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve. It's a good time to go to Honduras, and Chris Humphrey's Handbook is an excellent guide.
