It has been three days, since the Pico Bonito mysterious steam clouds were first seen. At first we all thought that it was a fire in the jungle clad mountains just north of La Ceiba in Honduras. However it is now clear that this is not the case. One thing is clear to eyesight: the fumaroles are not coming from Pico Bonito peak. But rather from an area East of the peak within Pico Bonito National Park.

Yet, as it turns out, today, most of the capitals of the Central American countries where not the most important city of the province during colonial times.
For many years, the gateways into Honduras have been quite limited. So it has been exciting to see a new gateway into Honduras operating at good occupancy for this first season. I am referring to the new routes that American Airlines has added to Honduras from their Dallas Fort Worth hub.

For the last 6 months, Honduras has been front page news. Unfortunately, it has not been portrayed as good news, and press coverage has sold it as terrible news.

This week I read in the news about Nas Daily in Honduras. He made a video about his experience in Honduras. The video title is “The Label Trap”.
