Taxis

Safety

Biking and Walking
These are common in smaller towns and rural areas, but due to safety concerns, they are not recommended in large cities or for long distances.
Travel Insurance

Many roads in Honduras are in poor condition, especially in rural areas. During the rainy season, landslides and flooding can make some roads impassable.
