Copan & Co

Honduras

A host of celebs have been buying up beachfront in Honduras, and while that’s not necessarily a good thing, it does show that this little Central American nation has finally come in from the cold.

This is one of the places that fits in the ‘it’s just like [insert as applicable] was 20 years ago’, and in this case that would be Costa Rica – still one of favourite countries, but one that’s fast having its rough edges smoothed off.

Honduras is all about those rough edges, and that’s its charm. Copan is an incredible example of Mayan city building, but still has a ‘just discovered’ feel thanks to far fewer visitors than sites such as Tikal or Tulum; likewise the beachfront lodges and hotels are simple but comfortable, and the whole place is refreshingly good value. Even better, this is a pretty small place, so even in a week you can combine a few days on the beach with a dose of culture and some jungly activities in Pico Bonito National Park. Maybe even combined with a couple of nights in that hippest of cities, Miami for added contrast.
