Excellent
10 Nov 2000
(From Planeta Journal) - This second edition by Humphrey revises the nuts-and-bolts information about traveling in Honduras and provides an entertaining read for anyone heading to this Central American country. This guidebook has great details about Celaque National Park, the petroglyphs of El Sauce and even an analysis of the country's maquiladoras. Honduras seems to have it all -- Caribbean beaches, coral reefs, ancient Maya ruins, colonial villages, and virgin forests -- but it takes a good guidebook to get you there. Independent travelers will relish this book.

A Model Guidebook! Will be hard to beat this one
16 April 2003
This is what a guidebook should be like. I have traveled extensively around the world using many different guidebooks, but none have surpassed this one. Chris Humphrey has done a great job. He really understands the country and its people, and is a very good writer. This guidebook thoroughly covers the Honduran culture, customs, society, economy and history. It contains lots of interesting nuggets of information that will help you get more out of your trip. It also makes getting around and finding a place to stay and things to do very easy since the information is very accurate and up-to-date. Overall, this Honduras guide is hard to beat.

Trusty Travel Companion
26 Nov 2003
Another hard-working Moon Handbook that gets the job done. Chris Humphrey has done an in-depth analysis of Honduran travel considerations and come up with a balanced and useful guide. He handles the basics well - his reviews and recommendations seem to be accurate and on the mark.
I particularly like his more off-the-beaten track sidetrips - my recent trip there was greatly enhanced by some of the lesser-known tourist attractions. He also gives realistic, no-nonsense advice about health and safety issues. Honduras is, after all, a third-world country with a population that often suffers from health, poverty, and crime problems. Humphreys addresses these problems with straightforward common-sense but without being an alarmist about it. He also exhibits a very welcome aura of compassion for the less-fortunate, complete with suggestions on how to entertain the local youngsters.
A fine effort.
