The Trip-Finder, January 1998 Honduras Touring the Jungle, Mountain, and Sea The Route: A dizzying 15-day adventure that includes wildlife viewing by dugout canoe, visits to the Misquito and Pech tribes, jungle hikes through cloud forests, and rafting the Cangrejal River. When to go: Year-round Difficulty: Easy to moderate Travel advisory: There’s a local saying about Honduras: The only things written in stone are the hieroglyphics. People here are not accustomed to dealing with outsiders. Take delays and logistical snafus in stride. High/low points: Night snorkeling off the island of Roatán. Being informed by your politically incorrect host that the fried meat you just ate for breakfast was danto, a rare species of tapir. Copyright 1998, Outside magazine |
