Honduras
Honduras pairs Maya ruins with a barrier reef: Copan's carved stone temples rank among the finest Maya archaeological sites, while the Bay Islands, especially Roatan and Utila, offer some of the Caribbean's most affordable diving and whale shark encounters. Inland, cloud forests and coffee farms climb into cooler highlands around towns like Gracias. It's a country best explored at a relaxed pace, moving between ancient history, reef life, and a laid-back Caribbean coastal culture.
