Honduras Visa Information

Honduras is a democracy with a developing economy.  The national language is Spanish, although English is often spoken in the Bay Islands.  The climate is generally pleasant and temperate, with dry and wet seasons.  During the dry season from February into May, widespread forest fires and
agricultural burning can lead to severely degraded air quality throughout the country leading to respiratory problems and airport closures.
