Honduras - Level 3: Reconsider Travel
Reconsider travel to Honduras due to crime and kidnapping. Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory.

Honduras, located in Central America, is characterized by its mountainous terrain, with the interior highlands comprising about 80% of the country's land area. The highest peak, Cerro Las Minas, reaches 2,865 meters above sea level. These highlands are dissected by several river valleys, including the Ulúa and Aguán, which provide fertile land for agriculture. The Caribbean lowlands to the north and the Pacific lowlands to the south are much narrower, featuring coastal plains and mangroves. The Bay Islands, located off the northern coast, are known for their coral reefs and attract tourists. Honduras experiences a tropical climate, with variations depending on altitude, and is prone to hurricanes and tropical storms.
