Honduras is famous for its adventurous outdoor activities including scuba diving, river rafting and mountain trekking, all available at very inexpensive costs. Eco tours are popular as the country offers world-class bird watching, gorgeous waterfalls and impressive national parks. The region of Utila attracts backpackers with its affordable accommodations, food, and outstanding diving opportunities. The white, sandy beaches of Parque Nacional Jeannette Kawas is the place to go for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling, all under the watchful eyes of the howler monkeys!
Representative of the national cuisine, the baleada is a flour tortilla filled with refried beans, cheese and sour cream. Tropical fruits are also popular and include pineapple, papaya, green bananas, and passion fruits among others.
Generally pleasant and temperate, the climate of Honduras has dry and wet seasons similar to most tropical countries. The dry season makes travelling much easier; however, the country's forests and landscape are much greener during the rainy season. It is generally accepted that February and March are the best months to visit. During this time period, the country enjoys fairly stable weather; the roads and trails have begun to dry out but the countryside is still lush and green.
