Amazon.com Review

Where else but in Honduras can you find a seamless blend of powdery soft, palm-lined beaches, untouched coral reefs, Mayan ruins, cobblestone colonial villages, dense jungle, monkey-filled forests, and the nicest people this side of paradise? Honduras's appeal is gaining tourist attention, but it's a slow process. You can still wander small villages and be treated with kind hospitality, without the dollar frenzy of more tourism-dependent nations. Honduras Handbook has extensive coverage of hiking, backpacking, scuba diving, snorkeling, and boating; reviews of hundreds of restaurants and hotels; 35 detailed maps; a Spanish glossary with Honduran slang; plus articles on the ruins of Copán, the Bay Islands, and the Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve. It's a good time to go to Honduras, and Chris Humphrey's Handbook is an excellent guide. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Alli No Mas", August 3, 2005
By Margaret L. McQuaid "magmcq" (Anchorage, Alaska United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whenever you ask for directions in Honduras, this is what you'll be told: "alli no mas", just a little further down the road. Take this book with you instead.

Christopher Humphrey's handbook gives you the "why", along with the "where" and the "how much". Conscientious travelers know that there's more to a place than cheap, clean hotels, or cheap, reliable restaurants. Traveling involves knowing what makes a place special, what to look for which is unique and different, and what is it about a place that guarantees it a place in our memories. This book provides the answers.

I lived and worked in Honduras for two years in the 70's, and I return often. This is the book I take with me. The contributors have an excellent understanding of Honduran history and culture, and this book is a very good resource for understanding a beautiful and little-known country.

So, if you go to Honduras, ride the campo busses, drink a couple of Salva Vidas, enjoy a fine cigar or two, and don't miss eating that fabulous North Coast sopa de mariscos. And don't leave home without this guidebook.

Que les vayan muy bien!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful mix of history and travel information., April 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Moon Handbooks: Honduras (1st Ed.) (Paperback)
This book is full of wonderful facts and tidbits about Honduras. It contains information about the well known tourist spots such as Copan and the Bay Islands. But it also highlights lesser known out of the way tows such as La Esperanza (My hometown) and Gracias. I enjoyed it thoughrougly and refer to it often. As a bonus, It is full of historical facts from Pre-history , The Colonial and Republican eras and the not too distant past. I love it. Carlos Rosa Miami, FL
