Intro

Backpacking in Honduras?

  • Honduras is a destination for backpackers looking for a mix of adventure and relaxation, top beaches, dense jungles and ancient Mayan ruins.
  • Diving on the Bay Islands is an absolute must for underwater enthusiasts, while nature lovers can indulge themselves in the Cusuco National Park.
  • Characteristics: hospitable, Mayans, beaches, nature, relatively safe as long as precautions are taken.

Traveling in Honduras?

  • Honduras offers beautiful landscapes, low-budget and more expensive archipelagos and diverse cultures. From the dense rainforests and impressive Mayan ruins in the interior, to the crystal clear waters and colorful coral reefs along the coast. Spotting cities: Copán (Mayan ruins), San Pedro Sula (vibrant, lively), Tegucigalpa (capital, cultural center, colonial), La Ceiba (port city and base for Pico Bonito NP), Gracias (colonial, in mountainous interior)
  • Spotting animals: biodiversity is great in Honduras: dense rainforests and clear water. Jaguars, pumas, toucans (Pico Bonito NP), sea turtles, rays (Cayos Cochinos), jaguars, tapirs, manatees, vultures (Unesco's Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve), sharks, rays, dolphins (Bay Islands)

Studying in Honduras?

  • Studies: in principle all subjects and forms of education can be found. Studies such as Spanish language & literature, archaeology, environment, anthropology, tourism, international business and international relations predominate. Study cities: in the capital Tegucigalpa you will find the largest and oldest university of Honduras, with a lively student culture. few -but good- public universities and several private educational institutions. But also San Pedro Sula (business administration, engineering) or Roatán (island with opportunities for marine biology or tourism) offer plenty of opportunities.
  • Characteristics: education is of increasingly better quality; relatively low tuition fees compared to other Central American countries, often slightly smaller classes. Much attention to sustainability.

Internships in Honduras?

  • Internships: internships can be found in all sectors of society. The tourism & hospitality sector has the most on offer. Certainly also opportunities around the environment, biodiversity, archaeology, development cooperation, agriculture, business administration, healthcare and education.
  • Internship cities: Tegucigalpa (economic and political center), San Pedro Sula (industrial center), Roatán (tourism, marine biology) and Copán (archaeology, sustainable tourism, anthropology). Characteristics: the internship culture is generally very 'mañana', informal, attention to personal relationships, emphasis on applying knowledge in practice, solution-oriented work.

Volunteering in Honduras?

  • Volunteer projects: mainly in education (also after-school guidance), health care (basic care, mental health, mother-child), nature management & environmental protection, community development, tourism.
  • Animal projects: protection of sea turtles, reintroduction of jaguars / monkeys and bird species, combating illegal trade, awareness of the need for animal protection.
  • Characteristics: volunteer work possible from 1 or 2 weeks to several months. You work in a rich biodiversity, in impressive nature reserves and make a social impact in a very direct way, often on a small scale.

Working in Honduras?

  • Jobs: temporary work can be found mainly in the sectors: hospitality and tourism (hotels, diving schools, travel sector). Also opportunities in education, health care, agriculture or nature conservation, IT and with international NGOs. Characteristics: take into account the mañana work culture, ensure a good basic knowledge of Spanish, work on your personal network and prepare yourself for work in exchange for board and lodging.

Working as a digital nomad in Honduras?

  • Favorite cities: Bay Islands Roatán and the more affordable Utila (both growing number of co-working spaces), Copán (vibrant expat culture), San Pedro Sula and of course Tegucigalpa (with the better infrastructure for digital nomads).
  • Characteristics: the digital nomad culture in Honduras is growing, but still take into account intermittent wifi, regularly slow internet and a varying 'value for money'. Certainly digital nomad accommodation can sometimes be more expensive than you would expect from this relatively cheap country.

Living in Honduras?

  • Language: Spanish is really the basis. English is increasingly spoken, especially in the more well-known tourist cities and hotspots.
  • Characteristics: The special Mayan atmosphere, enormous hospitality, mañana mentality, attention to mutual social relationships. Safety can vary greatly at neighborhood level; so orient yourself well in advance. Cheaper in terms of living than most other countries in Central America. Prepare for a tropical climate: high temperatures, lots of precipitation.
  • Health insurance: make sure you have your own good health insurance.

How does healthcare work in Honduras, and what travel insurance, health insurance or expat insurance do you need?

How does the healthcare system work in Honduras?

What is the quality of healthcare in Honduras?

  • After a long period of unrest and violence, Honduras is rebuilding itself. The quality of healthcare in Honduras varies greatly. There are public and private hospitals and institutions. Both have a number of good hospitals in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula.
  • Health insurance is mandatory for foreigners in Honduras and it is important to always have proof of health insurance with you.
  • San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa have good healthcare facilities for expats.
  • There is a shortage of medicines in Honduras. It is wise to take your own medicines with you as much as possible, and make sure you also have the prescription with you.
  • For emergency medical assistance, you can call 195.

How does the public healthcare system work in Honduras?

  • The Ministry of Health is responsible for public healthcare in Honduras. However, there is still a large part of the population that does not have access to good healthcare. This is mainly because there are hardly any healthcare institutions in the more rural areas of Honduras. Public healthcare is also available to expats. There are also few public doctors per capita.
  • Public healthcare leaves much to be desired. Not only in terms of medical equipment, but also the level of education of doctors and medical care providers.
  • Almost 90% of the population has no form of health insurance.

How does the private healthcare system work in Honduras?

  • Most foreigners opt for private healthcare in Honduras. There are more than 1,200 facilities throughout the country. Most advanced care can only be found in the well-developed cities.
  • Private healthcare is quite expensive, but of good quality. For this reason, most expats take out international health insurance.
  • Most care must be paid directly at the facility. With insurance, the costs can be declared later.

How is the general practitioner arranged in Honduras?

  • Many doctors are trained in the United States, so they speak English and provide good care. A visit to the general practitioner is not very expensive. For a good general practitioner, it can be useful to ask other foreigners for advice.

How is the dentist arranged in Honduras?

  • In urban areas such as Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula, there are good dental clinics that offer a range of services, from routine check-ups to more complex procedures. However, in rural areas, access to dental care is more limited.
  • It can also be wise to ask other expats for advice when you are looking for a good dentist.

How is pregnancy care arranged in Honduras?

  • Access to maternity care in Honduras varies greatly. In urban centres, there are hospitals and clinics that offer prenatal - and postnatal care. However, in rural areas, pregnant women may face limited access to medical facilities and a shortage of qualified staff.
  • Organisations such as the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and Doctors Without Borders have therefore set up programmes to improve access to reproductive and sexual health care. Since Covid, teleconsultations have even been available.
  • If you are planning to have a baby in Honduras, it is wise to do your research in advance to find out what medical facilities are available near your place of residence. Also discuss the experiences of other expats in advance, for example via forums or Facebook. Most foreigners choose private clinics where the care is relatively good.
  • There is no real birth plan system. You can draw up and submit a birth plan yourself, but don't expect too much from it.

How safe or unsafe is a trip or stay in Honduras?

What should you pay attention to in terms of safety in Honduras?

  • Honduras has a high crime rate, especially in urban areas such as Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula and La Ceiba. Violent crimes, including muggings and theft, do occur. It is advisable to be vigilant, especially at night, and to avoid busy markets and isolated streets. The country also has one of the highest murder rates in the world.
  • Expats are advised to always travel with a small amount of money to avoid confrontation in the event of a mugging.
  • Certain provinces, such as Santa Bárbara, Cortés, Atlántida, Yoro, Francisco Morazán (including the capital Tegucigalpa), Colón, Olancho and Gracias a Dios, have higher crime rates. The border areas with Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua are also known for criminal activity, especially during transport.

  • Air pollution can also be a problem for people with respiratory problems.

What should you pay attention to when it comes to traffic in Honduras?

  • The infrastructure in Honduras is underdeveloped in many areas. Roads can be poorly maintained, especially outside of urban centers, which makes driving challenging.
  • Traffic rules are not always strictly enforced, and driving behavior can be unpredictable. There is an increased risk of traffic accidents, especially at night and during bad weather conditions such as wet roads during the rainy season.
