Hi, does anyone have any really recent information on whether El Amatillo border is open at the moment? I mean really really recent, as in the last day or so... We're hearing mixed reports and no official confirmation.

What we have found is a video of about 8000 Honduran farmers blockading the roads up to the border in protest of El Salvador not allowing Honduran produce into the country. Whether this means that the border itself is closed, or whether you could walk over the border and try and get a lift on the other side is another matter.

Anyone who has some solid info, please let us know!

As you are learning, protest, blockades, strikes, shut downs, uprisings are all part of the scheme and fabric of Latin America, at a moments notice an entire road, city or country can be paralyzed...and most people never hear about outside the area...

I tried to pass border on the 17th of november and couldn´t get across. Went back to El Tunco to kill some time and figured I would watch the news or read the paper for updates. I am still looking for information today that can tell me if the border has been re-opened or if it is still closed, or if there are any other good websites to follow that can give me up to date info on the progress of the border. All we are trying to do is cross at El Amitillo, drive directly through and enter Nicaragua. Thanks for any responses.

My friend is there right now. Wrote me yesterday (11/22) to say that border was closed into Honduras for cars, but could walk across. He decided to head back into Guatemala.
