Content:
Honduras is a wonderland of Maya ruins, cloud forests full of toucans, monkeys and jaguars, and tiny villages perched on hillsides. Copan was the primary Maya cultural centre from 400 to 800 AD. The Bay Islands with their spectacular coral reefs lure divers from around the world. This book gives inside information about these places.
