When to go
The best time to visit Honduras runs from
December to mid-April on the southern side, in Tegucigalpa and in the interior, while on the northern coast, and on the small Caribbean islands belonging to Honduras (the largest of which is Roatán), it only corresponds to the period
from March to May.
To visit the cities and archaeological ruins, up to 1,000 meters (3,300 feet, therefore also in Tegucigalpa), you can prefer the months of
December and January, since in the following months, even though it is still the dry season, it can be very hot.
What to pack
In Tegucigalpa and the
tierras templadas: all year round, bring light clothing, a sweatshirt or sweater, and a jacket for the evening from November to March; a raincoat or umbrella from May to October.
In the
plains and on the coasts: bring lightweight clothes, and a sweater for the evening from December to March; from May to October, tropics-friendly clothing, plus a light sweatshirt and a light raincoat for thunderstorms. When going to the reef, you can bring snorkeling equipment, including water shoes or rubber-soled shoes.
When going to
high mountains, bring warm clothes, a jacket, and hiking boots.
