Honduras Travel

Transportation from San Pedro Sula, Honduras to Copan, Honduras via Bus
Direct buses for Copan leave San Pedro Sula at 2 PM and 3 PM from the intersection of 6A/6C (SO) daily. There are other options, but they take much longer and the cost difference is negligible. I left at 2:05 on a bus that still had plenty of room, a happy circumstance that allowed me to stretch out occasionally during the 3 hour ride. The fare was L.50 (3.60 USD). Lush green mountains flank the road on both sides of the road.

The drive has a rural flavor, derived mostly from the absence of large numbers of houses, and the striking beauty of the countryside. A light and constant rain began to fall about the time we stopped at La Entrada, two hours into the trip. From here, the road becomes increasingly more curvy, and the terrain more mountainous, and small landslides, no doubt caused by the rain, slowed our progress.
