Honduran Crisis

Honduran Crisis

The Honduran Crisis is all over the internet, news, and pretty much ever other medium for sharing information.

I promised myself I wouldn’t share any opinions on this issue, but if you are looking to find out more about how things are going in Honduras from an insider’s point of view, I recommend you visit La Gringa’s Blogicito. She lives in La Ceiba, and has been blogging about Honduras for years and has done a tremendous job in posting up lots of information that you won’t see on CNN.

The Blogicito will hopefully round out your view of what the current situation really is in Honduras. It would be a shame to base your opinions only on what Read more

Tobacco Factory Tour in Santa Rosa de Copan

Tobacco Factory Tour in Santa Rosa de Copan

Semana Santa is coming up in April so I am making plans to travel to Santa Rosa de Copan for their week long celebration!

In the meantime, I was looking around for other things to do in Santa Rosa and have therefor been researching the area. Turns out Santa Rosa de Copan is the center of the Honduran tobacco trade and has been since colonial times.

Now, I’m not one for a smoke,  but I do enjoy history. At La Flor de Copan Cigar Factory you can take tours Monday to Friday at 10 am and at 2 pm, and it only costs about 2 dollars.

If you do enjoy cigars you’ll be happy to know at the end of Read more

"Fysio Total… more than just physical therapy" in Honduras

Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation in Honduras is not government regulated, which means it can be hard to find a true professional. The search, however, is over. Ivonne van Leest is the answer – she is a true physical therapist, having received her education in Holland.

Send Gifts In and To Honduras

Send Gifts In and To Honduras

Sending goods in Honduras is no easy task, especially if you have something you want to have shipped down from the United States, or any other country for that matter. Honduras.com has now set up an online store where you can purchase goods and have them delivered directly to Honduras.

To be frank, I haven’t used the service yet, although I have heard good things about it from friends who have used it to send flowers and special little meals to family members. (Like Pizza Hut Wing packs and KFC chicken meals) It may seem a little strange, but it can be a nice surprise for a special night.

The recently opened Infinity Bay Spa & Beach Resort invites you to claim your place in Paradise on Roatan Island. This exclusive resort and real estate development is comprised of 145 spacious studio, one, two and three-bedroom condo villas, starting at just $215,000. With all the attention that Roatan has been receiving lately, your little paradise home could also be a great investment opportunity, with the potential for a fairly high return.

Relocate to Honduras

Villa Elena is an exclusive community resting just outside the capital city of Tegucigalpa, and it is the perfect place to settle if you are looking for something with all the beauty of Central America, but all the amenities of the first world.

Villa Elena has worked to integrate their facilities into the natural landscape of the extensive forest that surrounds their grounds. They offer a number of different model houses constructed on the grounds that are built to mimic the modern life to which most foreigners are accustomed.
