These are short movies of Honduras and are very informative.

Come on down to Honduras!

The number of tourists visiting Honduras has bottomed out. The political crisis has taken a big toll on the travel industry. However, and despite all the travel warnings and advisories discouraging travel to Honduras, I must say that this is the best time to visit Honduras. Discounted fares, hosts willing to go out of their way to make sure you have the time of your life, un-crowded ruins, beaches and reefs are all waiting for you to enjoy.

Throughout the country there is peace and calm, and the roads are all open, making it easy to go from one city to the other. Whenever there are protests, these are limited to the capital city, Tegucigalpa and very, very occasionally to San Pedro Sula. The tourist destinations of Copan Ruinas, Tela, La Ceiba, Utila, Roatan, Trujillo, Guanaja, Lake Yojoa and Southern Honduras are far away from the political scene and at their best.

As far as the weather is concerned, this has been an “el niño” year, and its effect on Honduras has been less rain than normal. This means that the weather, which can be very rainy, especially on the North Coast, has been extremely pleasant, with lovely clear blue skies during the day and an occasional shower early in the evening. Nice warm weather and a lovely sun to tan your skin and cool nights to sleep well.

Take advantage and visit Honduras, you will really enjoy it!

Price reduction on Villas until December

Villas Pico Bonito now offers room rates at 50% discount. The western press and the US state department have put out so much misinformation about Honduras that we are seeing a huge drop in tourism.
Honduras is safer than ever. The press makes it look like there are riots everywhere in Honduras. This is false. You can safely travel to Copan Ruinas, La Ceiba's Rio Cangrejal valley and all the Bay Islands.
I have heard of no problems with tourists and their travels in these areas.

Pricing starts at $30 for the Gate House $40 for the Casita, $44 for the Jungle Room, $55 for Del Rio, $80 for El Bejuco, $100 for the Villa Cangrejal and $115 for the Champa El Disco or $60 for one of the rooms in El Disco. plus 16% tax for the government. All units have kitchens, including refrigerators, large bathrooms with hot water and coffee and cold fresh water supplied. Maid service available at no extra charge.

Toucans nesting

We have a whole flock of Toucans around here and at least on pair is nesting close to the casa. Tough to see them but they are there. I will try for photos.

This was the old caretakers house on the hill. it has been redone as a less expensive place to stay in Villas Pico Bonito
