"Honduras" Honduras by a005116

Honduras has barely been registered on the Western radar, apart from its short role in the 1980s as a breeding ground for US covert operations. But that's another story! It is not for nothing called the Pentagon state!

Wathever the history, it was and is a wonderfull country with wonderfull people! Slowly that is being discovered by foreign tourists. especialy the bay islands in the Caraïbean are popular spots for cheap dives.

However, the country was devastated by one of the strongest hurricanes of the 20th century - Hurricane Mitch in October 1998. Thanks to international relief efforts, much of the infrastructure has now been repaired and tourism has returned to pre-Mitch levels.
