A diamond in the rough, Honduras, Central America’s second-largest country, dazzles visitors with its natural beauty and diverse wildlife. Nature lovers can explore idyllic Caribbean beaches, bird-rich lakes and jungles, and the undeveloped tropical rainforest of La Mosquitia, the Mosquito Coast.
But the country’s prized jewels are the beautiful Bay Islands. Ringed by thriving coral reefs – part of the world’s second biggest barrier reef, which stretches north to Mexico – these laid-back islands lure many divers, snorkelers, and travelers seeking a relaxed tropical vibe.
