Traveling to Honduras? Land Connected.

Honduras pairs Maya ruins with Caribbean reef islands — Copán's carved stelae one day, Roatán's West Bay beach the next — and getting between them takes planning, so install your CGOO eSIM before you fly and you connect the moment you land, with maps and transport numbers in your pocket from the start.

Choose the Plan That Fits Your Trip

  • Fixed data or unlimited: pick from the plan grid above by trip length and data use — fixed-data plans for maps, messaging and light browsing, unlimited plans for heavy use and hotspotting.
  • Instant delivery: your QR code and installation link are emailed within minutes of checkout. Install before your flight; validity starts on the day you activate.
  • Good to know: your phone must support eSIM (dial *#06# and look for an EID), and your 15-digit IMEI is required at checkout so your eSIM can be provisioned.

Travel Highlights

  • Copán Ruinas: Maya stelae, altars and the Hieroglyphic Stairway in a quiet highland town near the Guatemala border.
  • Roatán and West Bay: the Bay Islands' classic beach — calm water, snorkeling and dive boats, best reached by flight or ferry from La Ceiba.
  • Utila: the smaller, cheaper dive island, known for whale sharks in season and a backpacker scene.
  • Pico Bonito National Park: rainforest trails, rivers and waterfalls near La Ceiba, best explored with a local guide.
  • La Ceiba and the Garifuna coast: Afro-Caribbean music, food and fishing villages along the north coast.

Getting Around

  • Airports: Palmerola International Airport (XPL) near Comayagua serves Tegucigalpa, and Ramón Villeda Morales Airport (SAP) serves San Pedro Sula; Roatán's Juan Manuel Gálvez Airport (RTB) handles island flights. Ferries from La Ceiba reach Roatán and Utila.
  • Ride-hailing — Uber and inDrive in the big cities: Uber operates in San Pedro Sula and inDrive is also used there, with coverage concentrated in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula; outside the cities, plan on licensed taxis and hotel-arranged transfers.
  • Taxis: licensed taxis in cities are usually yellow or white cars with TAXI signs and do not use meters — always agree the fare before you set off, and use official ranks or hotel-called cars rather than hailing at night.
  • Between towns: intercity buses and shared colectivos cover most routes; ferries and small boats are the way to the Bay Islands, with schedules that shift in bad weather.

Safety and Practical Tips

Honduras needs more care than most Caribbean trips. Petty theft and armed robbery happen in cities, so keep valuables out of sight, avoid walking alone at night, and use hotel-arranged transport after dark. Stick to well-traveled areas and main roads, and check current travel advice before you go.

Roads can be rough and driving at night is best avoided — potholes, unlit stretches and slow trucks are common. In the mountains and on the coast, rain can close roads and ferry routes, so keep plans flexible and carry a charged phone.

Entry and Visa

Entry rules depend on your passport. Many nationalities, including US, Canadian, UK and EU citizens, are admitted as visitors without a visa for short stays, but always check the current rules for your nationality before you book, and make sure your passport is valid well beyond your trip.

Weather and Climate

  • Warm all year: Tegucigalpa, in the highlands, averages broadly around 20–25°C year-round, while Roatán and the north coast sit around 27–30°C.
  • Wet season: May to October brings heavier rain, especially on the Caribbean coast; the Bay Islands stay warm and humid through the year.
  • Drier months: November to April is usually drier inland and in the highlands, and the most popular window for travel.
  • What to pack: light clothes, rain gear for the wet season, sturdy shoes for ruins and trails, and insect repellent for evenings.

Money and Payments

  • Currency: the Honduran lempira (HNL) is the local currency. US dollars are sometimes accepted in tourist areas, but change is usually given in lempiras.
  • Cards: Visa and Mastercard are accepted at larger hotels and restaurants, but many taxis, markets and village shops are cash-only — a Wise card works wherever Visa or Mastercard is accepted, with no local-currency balance claimed here.
  • Cash: carry lempiras for taxis, buses, food stalls and entrance fees, especially outside the main cities.
  • ATMs: ATMs are found in Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula and La Ceiba; stock up before heading to Roatán's smaller bays or remote ruins.
