Honduras is a wonderland of Maya ruins, cloud forests full of toucans, monkeys and jaguars, tiny villages perched on hillsides. And prices are astonishingly low. Copan is here, the primary Maya cultural center from 400 to 800 AD. The Bay Islands with their spectacular coral reefs lure divers from around the world. The author shares inside information – far more useful and revealing than any other guide. Town and regional maps, photos, index.
