Open Road has the solution, the perfect travel guide, because we now offer a choice consumers have not had before: a guide that actually gives readers the content they need for the trip they want! Readers can flip through the book and go to the section that matches how much time they have budgeted, and then go right to that section and see our expert trip ideas. They will also see at a glance which hotels and restaurants are best for them, where the happening nightlife is, the best sports and recreation, and where the most authentic, local shopping can be found.
Open Road’s Best of Honduras gives readers a small number of great choices and itineraries for one-day, weekend, one-week and two-week trips to whatever part of Honduras they’re visiting. Only the best is included, with great ideas for jungle ecotouring, combing through ancient ruins along the Ruta Maya, visiting old colonial churches and villages, and relaxing on beautiful pristine beaches. We combine different kinds of trips for our readers, based on the amount of time they have, such as a one-week ruins-and-recreation combo featuring the monumental Copan and other Mayan sites with some city nightlife in the capital of Tegucigalpa, or a weekend getaway to the Bay Islands for some of the best diving and snorkeling in this hemisphere!
Best of all, we don’t weigh readers down with tons of useless information – we cut to the chase and give readers short descriptions of the best Honduras has to offer.
