Honeymoon Travel Tips: Honduras

Today's post comes from friend and kindred spirit, Nora, who currently resides in lovely Honduras!  We all know of the traditional honeymoon destinations like Hawaii and Paris, but Honduras seems like it offers something a little more authentic (read: less staged) for the  well traveled couple.  So read on for more info, and definitely contact Nora through sarah.theoneNY@gmail.com if you want to ask any questions!

Honeymooning in Honduras

Central America is a great, tropical, off the beaten track, place to spend your honeymoon and Honduras is a great country to do it in.  Despite recent political strife, these destinations are far from the political epicenter of the country and safe to visit.  You are likely to find great deals too!  Coffee farms and white sand beaches are in store for you if you make Honduras your Honeymoon destination!

I have been living and working in Honduras for 3 years, and I want to tell you about my favorite place here.  It is a coffee plantation outside the town Copan Ruinas in the Western Honduras called Finca El Cisne.  Horseback ride on cool mountain trails, tour coffee and cardamom plantations, savor real Honduran cuisine prepared with products from the farm, swim in rivers, bathe in soothing, natural hot springs and sleep tranquil nights in the country (with your sweetie!).  This is the escape you have been looking for and continues to be the most relaxing place I have been in Honduras.  This great location because it is located 25 km outside of the town Copan Ruinas—where you can tour one of a kind ancient Mayan ruins.   Definitely plan to stay a few days in the region—you won’t regret it.

Then you can hop over to another wonderful treasure that Honduras has to offer:  The Bay Islands

These islands with white sand beaches and amazing coral are located in the Caribbean Sea just off the coast of Honduras and offer a great beach getaway.  The three islands: Roatan, Utila and Guanaja, all offer something different.  You can rent a private house, go snorkeling, enjoy fabulous sea food, stay at a 5 star resort, or stay at a modest (read: not expensive) place as well while enjoying your surroundings.   These islands are a national treasure and a vacationer’s paradise!

Honduras is full of diversity and many off the beaten track places.  If you and your future spouse are an adventuresome couple, then Honduras could be the place for you.  Please do not hesitate to contact me via "The One"  for more information.
