Roatan Bruce Interviews

The RECO Sale?

Travel & Tourism in HondurasIn very recent days, the electric power has been on 24 hours a day. This is a very welcome change to what has been the last few months.  A couple of weeks ago, unwanted blackout episodes in the middle of the night reminded us all that we were not out of the woods yet.  Were the blackouts over as we were promised or was the struggle still on? By Bruce Starr


Travel & Tourism in HondurasThe start of the month of May in Copan Ruinas brings with it hot, humid temperatures more apt for an afternoon picnic in the Saudi Arabian desert, but as the month progresses, evening temperatures tend to get downright pleasant and the midday heat and humidity begin to subside. As April heat gives way to the spring like May temperatures, the annual low n´ slow season kicks into high gear. It’s the perfect time to have the ruins, Macaw Mtn Bird Park, hot springs, Ruby Falls, Butterfly Garden and archeological park all to your lonesome as there are few tourists in sight this time of the year.
