Hello!
I am headed down to Central America for 5 weeks. Hoping to get to Belize, Honduras and possibly another country (El Salvador, Guatemala, southern Mexico). I was reading about the Garifuna villages around Tela and was wondering if anyone had more information on them and whether it is possible to visit them independently? Also any general advice on cool places/hostels/activities etc. in any of these countries would be much appreciated! I am into hiking, scuba diving, skateboarding, learning to surf, chilling, ruins, beautiful places, wildlife, and adventure activities. Rural over city... not much of a partier but will endulge with a fun group. Thanks so much!!!

Hi guys!
Some weeks ago I was talking about my non-profit organization in Honduras. We plant to start the work in August 2010. Here is our website:

If you want to be in the first group, join us. Start to open the gate of the Tawahka tribe!

My son and I will be volunteering for a week in a small town near Omoa this winter. Any input would be appreciated, but particularly anything we should try to do, see, eat, etc? (Especially eat)
Also any comments on safety, both political and health. Should we have mosquito netting for sleeping? I hear some people take malaria medication, others don't. Is there a consensus? Any thoughts on the appropriateness of taking a youth to Honduras at this point in time?

Just wondering if it is worth renting a car on Roatan, we found a house rental on the east side by Turquoise bay Resort, how long driving time is this to the west end? How long does it take to drive around the island?

Hi,
I am traveling to Honduras in Jan. I am going to need high speed internet during my stay. Is there really access to high speed or is it just the same old turtle connection?
Any observations would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi
I will be on Utila island over new year and would like a recommendation for budget accommodation (around US $10 - 15 a night) as my guide book does not have many helpful suggestions! I would prefer a hostel environment as I am travelling alone so that would make it easier to meet people.
Thanks, Lizzy

I was planning to leave Guatemala around the 30th of November and make my way to Honduras with my first stop in Copan. Does anyone know what I can expect for transport and border crossing so close to the election? Any suggestions or information would be appreciated.

Can anyone tell me what airlines are currently flying this route? Taca's web site no longer includes Utila. I can't tell if Atlantic Air has resumed this route after they had their permit pulled last year. Any thoughts on these or any other options would be appreciated.

hey,
Just spent the last 10 days in Honduras and can highly recommend the place.
I crossed over from Guatemala and stayed in Copan for a few days exploring the very cool little town and of course the ruins, which are outstanding - if you like that sort of thing.
I'd like to recommend a great B & B that I stayed at - La Casa Cafe. Is not a Hostel in the traditional sense, but a lovely, relaxing place to stay with spacious rooms, very comfy beds and en-suites - the attention to detail in the finishings is very noticeable, not to mention the standard hammocks for killing a few hours and a very well manicured garden with outdoor furniture.
A very good breakfast is included in the price, as is all day coffee, mineral water, free wireless and an extensive library of travel literature.
Howard and Angela are excellent hosts and are a great source for all things Honduran!
If you'...

Can anyone recommend a good reliable pharmacy in Roatan ??
My father's Parkinson's disease medication is very costly in the United States. We will be in Roatan for 1 day, (on a cruise ship stop), and are hoping to purchase the medication while we are there at a price lower than the US price.
Any recommendation and contact information for a good pharmacy would be greatly appreciated. Also, please advise if a prescription will be required. Many thanks.
The medication is called Azilect (rasagiline.)
