Honduras

Welcome to Honduras!
Bienvenidos a Honduras!

Honduras is certainly one of the lesser-known countries in Central America. We follow in the footsteps of the first European in Honduras: Christoph Kolumbus and take a closer look at this country. What effect will this former part of Guatemala have on us? Surely the Caribbean islands of Honduras will win us over. But we are not quite sure, as the term banana republic was originally coined in connection with Honduras. Honduras is currently the second largest banana exporter in the world.

About us

We are Paddy and Mimi, a travel-hungry couple from tiny Switzerland in the middle of Europe. We call ourselves slow travelers, because we like to spend enough time in one place or country. Therefore we don’t only visit the typical sights but also get to know the culture of the respective country.

Our current location:

Puerto Iguazú, Argentina

Next on our South America trip we visit a beautiful region with an extremely dense wildlife: The Pantanal in Brazil. The name sounds spectacular and exotic to us but translated from Portuguese it just means swamp or swamp region, derived from pântano. It is the...
