San Pedro Sula Travel Blogs

This is a group trip...something I haven't done before... We arrived in San Pedro Sula as a group of 25, but 3 of us immediately boarded a bus to drive up to a different valley: Ocote Paulino, where we were going to help the West Virginia group start a new clinic. To be continued...

By the end of the week neither our wallets nor our red skin could afford any more time in Belize, so we left the country for Honduras.  We learned our lesson (see previous entry) about bus travel and opted for a boat ride.  Little did we know what a brilliant decision this would turn out …

To start, Cusuco National Park is located west to San Pedro Sula, Honduras. the cloud forest has 2 zones. The core zone and the buffer zone. The core zone is the area where the forest is most dense and virgin, and it's more protected. The buffer zone surrounds the core zone; it's the area where …

After arriving in San Pedro Sula at the airport and making it through customs,  I made my way to he bus station and took a 3 hour bus ride to the Mayan ruins of Copan and the village of Copan Ruinas.  Along the way the bus went through the mountainous countryside and through the village o…

Spent an afternoon , evening and morning in San Pedro Sula , Honduras second city after the capital Tegucigalpa. San Pedro has something of a dodgy reputation (for gangs , crime and HIV) so not a place where I was looking to linger around too long , just somewhere I wanted to see briefly on my way …

A 2 week trip from Roatan to Belize and back.

My name is Gaby G! I will be traveling to Honduras on July 13th 2008. Hopefully I will keep diligent with my blog updates, if not I'M SORRY! Anyways, I will be teaching English at a private academy in Tegucigalpa for about 2 months and hopefully getting a bit of travel in on Saturday.

Went to the souvenier place mentioned in Lonely Planet.  Go some good stuff.  Then went to the airport for the 12 hour trip home, wow, glad to be back.

On the way we had met a guy on the bus who was a business man and spoke good english - got a lot of good info from him.- actually he reconfirmed the information not to go out after dark - sounds scary but its seems one of the initiation ceremonies for the gangs is to shoot some one - hence the infi…

i went on a missions trip to santiago, honduras, with some kids from my church youth group. once there we helped build a church, paint houses, dig a path through a mountain, and distribute medical supplies to families. so far, i consider the two weeks i spent in central america to be the most rewarding thing i've ever done. unfortunately, i've changed computers since my trip, and am still trying to locate some of my pictures.

Just a quick note to say that we´ve arrived in San Pedro Sula, Honduras´2nd transport hub. We now fully appreciate the comments in the guide book telling us that most people only pass through here, and stay only if they have to. Unfortunately for us we fall into the latter category. As a rather …

My friends and I all slept at one of our host families homes so that we could all head over together to the Tica Bus station at our bright and early departure time of 4:30AM. We gathered our overflowing backpacks (remember the old school backpacks from junior high and high school.. that was our one…

I took a run this morning after some consultation with the front desk of our hotel about where I could and could not go.  The streets I can go on is limited to four in this city of 500,000 people.  When I asked about a few other streets he was very clear about say…

Hey Everyone, This morning i crossed the border into Honduras, and into the city where im starting my dive job from on weds morning!! It doesn´t seem like a very nice city though but i havent really explored yet.  Tomorrow i have to go and try and find my diving equipment bag, it got sh…

We didn't spend that much time here, so I don't have that much to write about.  The bus company we use to get here was Viana, man were they nice! At the terminal and inside the bus, compare to Hedman Alas, this is a lot better!!We stayed at the Terraza hotel, and the restaurant is pretty good,…
