So, living in Guatemala, a natural vacation spot for summer vacation would be Honduras, the only country my wife and I have yet to visit in the region (well, Costa Rica too).
We would only have 10 to 12 days, most likely and would be thinking of visiting Copan first. I am 100% into ruins and even though it is not supposed to be as amazing as Tikal, it is supposed to be a pleasant area in general with plenty of other things to do.
Lake Yojoa, Pico Bonito and Cusuco also seem like wonderful places to enjoy natural beauty, which is a highlight of any trip I take, checking out nature.
I am not totally sold on Comayagua but have heard from several people/co-workers/friends from Honduras that it is nice.
After that, the plan is to end up in the Bay Islands area to visit Roatan and/0r (perhaps) Utila.
I have considered La Ceiba/Cayos Cochinos but I think with limited time, that is pushing it a little. In fact, I would likely cut out at least 1 of the 3 places of natural beauty as well (likely Cusuco).
So in the end what I am thinking is Copan, 2 of the following: Lake Yojoa, Pico Bonito, Cusuco, next would be Roatan and/or Utila, fly from Tegucigalpa (if there is time maybe leave the city to check out Comayagua). Any way, for those who have been, what do you think? Trying to pack too much in?
Would you recommend any other location? I will be avoiding San Pedro Sula and will only consider Tegucigalpa as a means to potentially check out nearby Comayagua and to fly out of Honduras to the next destination: Mexico City and to see some of the nicer villages around Mexico for two weeks or so.
