I hope Honduras goes better in the future, it looks like a beautiful country.

OMG! Honduras was like my second home when growing up, el pan de coco is so good! I remember when the hurricane Mitch hit Honduras, my parents traveled from El Salvador to Honduras, my dad was an electrical engineer and went to Tegucigalpa to help restore electricity with other engineers.

“Do Not call Hondurans Mexicans”
😂 My father is from Mexico and my mother is from Honduras. I don’t know how to feel right now

When Barby finishes his episodes, people from every country will be subscribed to him making Geography Now the most international channel

My mother is from Honduras, and those spanish words you mentioned, I had no idea they were specific to us haha. Also my mom sends money to Honduras too. I'm in Florida and whenever I find another Honduran it's like seeing a rainbow. My mom also had to explain to me the difference between a taco and our taco like thing when I was 16

I went to Roatan this summer and I freakin loved it, Honduran people are so nice, and it's so beautiful there

Honduras is a place full of history and beauty, but also of stark contrasts. Some of us (the middle and high class) live almost completely apart from the violence that ravages the rest of the country. You can live pretty much your entire life without facing any threats from gangs, of course you still have to be more careful than in other places, keep a low profile, don't go into dangerous neighborhoods and you'll be fine.

It's like two diferent worlds, for people that have a decent enough income life is good, you can get a house in a gated community, kids can go to private schools that offer protection even on their transportation, they make sure that every kid gets home safetly, my school bus driver waited until my mom opened the door of my house to leave, otherwise he would wait a long time and if nobody opened up he had instrutions to take me back to school so that my folks would pick me up there, but he couldn't leave a kid on his own, even if it wasn't on a bad part of town.

There are plenty of restaurants, shopping malls, parks, clubs, theaters you can go to for entertaintment. Every once in a while a new joint opens up and everybody talks about it, you feel a little bit left out if you haven't been there. All and all its a good life, I wish the whole population could have those experiences, sadly most can't, that's where the violence, the unemployement, the health issues, the hunger and the many other problems from which the people of the middle and high class flee from come into play. You kind of have to turn a blind eye as you're happily eating burgers in McDonald's with your family or friends and all of a sudden a poor kid with dirty clothes looks through the windows wishing he could be in there too, sometimes it's to hard not to look.

EDIT: Fixed some typos

Thanks for this video!!! Great job compiling so many facts in one video :D!

Honduras is a really beautiful country but many people get scared to come because of the crime. People need to realize that, even though Honduras is one of the most dangerous countries, turistic areas are mostly safe, and if you just follow basic preventive measures (Like not going into hot zones, traveling mostly on car and not by foot(unless its a safe town/village, turistic zone or somewhere safe), not going out to the street too late at night) you can have safe vacations. I've lived my whole life here and I've not been robbed or assaulted even once.

Honduras is not a war zone. People here don't live under a rock. Honduras is a beautiful country rich on culture, food, music, natural beauty, biodiversity, warm caring people, and much more.
Give Honduras a chance, you wont't regret it :)

[jonathandotcom]

Im Guatemalan and i agree, we are close friends with Honduras.

[Aka.Smoothie]

I’m Honduran and I’ve never heard a more complete and accurate description of my country 😅🇭🇳 absolutely loved it 😁

[GeographyNow]

Totally unrelated but when the school season starts again after summer break, the GN team is planning on doing more school visits! (Most likely starting California/ nearby states since travel is expensive) If you are a teacher or school staff member and would like to organize an event let us know!

[demoscratos]

I'm Honduran, and this has to be the most informative, entertaining and accurate assessment of Honduras' history and its neighbors. Man, you did your homework! Bravo!

[atouloupas]

Greetings to the exotic Honduras from Greece! :)

[eletoile]

Honduras seems amazing!! As always, great video GN! 💙

Hello from Danlí, Honduras :)
Just a couple of things:
0:56 The name of the capital is misspelled. It's *Tegucigalpa*
1:26: The media does not talk about these self-governing economic zones that are being established in our country. The government is really interested in not revealing much information about it.
3:55 *La Mosquitia*
9:17 So Taiwan is like our godfather :3
10:05 Nicaraguans are my fav Central Americans :3
I LOVE your videos :) Great job!

[luisandrade]

Been there, in Tegucigalpa. Very nice people, cool weather.
Curious facts I noticed there:
Landing at Toncontin airport (TGU) is a flight experience! when approaching you fly over the airport and make a descending 360 deg turn, with mountains side by side. By the end of that turn you should pose into the runway and apply full brakes and reverse throttle to not overrun the short runway. If failed, go back to the air and repeat the procedure. In my case the flight crew only needed one attempt.
Retired US yellow school buses serve in Honduras as public transportation, with former banners still present in many cases.

6:45 For those of you out there learning Spanish, it should be noted that "Qué onda" is used in several countries outside of Honduras as well. Some will claim that nowadays it's mainly a Mexicanism, but in Spanish classes I've been taught that it originated in Argentina and Chile. Any locals/linguists/etymologists willing to come to my rescue here?

[IeshiAke]

I always knew that Sharknado's plot wasn't so far-fetched. Thanks Honduras, you've rekindled my love for the world.

[CarlosFunes]

As a Honduran, I totally loved this video.
Thank you!

la mosquita: the little fly
la Mosquitia: the Mosquito Coast

Just one letter changes all the meaning :)
