Honduras is both enjoyable and inexpensive and with a slow pace, natural beauty and low-profile tourism, allows for a most destination for travellers (well-armed with insect repellent). Despite its turbulent political history, this poor cousin of the region is a dream destination for those keen on keeping away from the crowds. With great snorkelling, diving and swimming around the Bay and Hog Islands, and excellent beaches around Tela and Trujillo, Honduras has a universal appeal. For the best walks, the Parque Nacional Celaque, 45km (28mi) southeast of Santa Rosa de Copán contains the country’s highest peak, a lush cloud forest, the headwaters of 10 rivers and a majestic waterfall. Parque Nacional Pico Bonito, a few kilometres south of La Ceiba, has trails around an unexplored reserve and a challenging peak for mountaineers. The Mayan ruins of Copán are the most remarkable archaeological site and includes the Stelae of the Great Plaza, portraying the rulers of Copán, dating from AD613; the ball court and hieroglyphic stairway; and the Acropolis, which has superb carved reliefs of the 16 kings of Copán.
