Honduras
is a small country, yet it is packed with so much natural, cultural
and archaeological diversity, we like to describe it in terms of
three distinct and diverse worlds: "Tropical Nature",
"Maya Renaissance", "Caribbean Creation".
Located
in the Central American isthmus, Honduras is the second largest
country of the region, with an area of over 43,000 square miles
(112,090 sq km). It borders to the West with Guatemala, to the Southwest
with El Salvador, and to the East with Nicaragua.
Its
coastal areas are great points of attraction for all types of tourism.
After all, just imagine how much beauty a 400 mile long Caribbean
coast, and a 78 mile Pacific coast, can hold. Honduras has a tropical
climate, which means that only the dry and the wet season are well
defined throughout the year. Since it's located between two oceans,
the climate varies greatly in the North, South and central areas.
In the center of the country it is more predictable, with summer,
or the dry season, extending roughly from December to May, and winter,
or rainy season, from June to November.
