I'm thinking about going to Honduras. Has anyone any experience with towns on the pacific coast, Golfo Fonseco, Choluteca or Nacaome.
I've heard conflicting claims regarding age of consent in Honduras. Ageofconsent.com now says 17 though I think it listed 16 up to recently. Older WSG postings say 16 but an expat said locals have said it's 18. Anyone know if there have been changes in the last year?

A smart move would be nothing under 18 years old especially since Bush signed that new law that states anyone, regardless of where in the world who has sex with a minor and gets caught will do an automatic 30 years.
Honduras is notorious for child prostitutes; really young ones at that, 13 years old and upwards with their mothers promoting this activity. Sorry, but I cannot get into 'child' sex - and they're still children at 16/17 years of age. But again, that's just me.
I am thinking about going to Tocoa, Colon in December - January. Can anyone tell me anything about this place. I have the girl part covered, but safety, hotels and other information would help.
I guess I would also like to know if anyone also has an opinion on Honduras for woman. Are they laid back or hot blooded (eg Colombian). Thanks
Cabana Man,
I've been involved with a Honderena off and on for a few years. I've been to Honduras often. The women I've met, and my own novia, are definately hot.
The only Columbians I've met are also hot and their rep in places I've been like Costa Rica is muy caliente!!
I also met a Columbian guy living in Honduras, he said he much preferred Columbian women, better builds.

Cabana Man:
Tocoa – stayed there about 4 months a couple of years ago. It is a very small town compared to La Ceiba, and even smaller than Trujillo, which is closer. There is no close and convenient beach, there are no nice hotels, most of the streets aren't paved, and there are only a couple of restaurants in town where I could stomach the food – and I’m pretty adventurous when it comes to food. Bars with P4P girls were practically nonexistent. I did meet a couple of semi-attractive girls and did get laid, but I’m not sure if it was worth the effort I had to put in to the chase. Plus, I think it might have been one of the situations where even a toothless 90-years granny looks hot if you’re stranded on a desert island.
Also, in Tocoa I was having problems with theft at my business and was robbed at gunpoint in my office. I had to promise to buy the police lunch so they would come investigate. They then wanted me to give them gas money for coming out. They didn’t do shit, it was a fucking joke. However, if I ever drove through one of their roadside checkpoints, they all became Sherlock Holmes and would detain me forever while they pretended to review my documents. Needless to say, I didn't get any of my shit back.
I ended up commuting from La Ceiba (1.5 hours by car) after a while because Tocoa was so boring and the lack of variety in women. At least once a week there would be a major accident involving a car hitting either a big truck or a farm animal. Either way, the car would be destroyed. I ended up carrying a camera with me in the car and got some awesome crunched vehicle and splattered cow and horse photos (why? – who knows).
I’d have to recommend either Trujillo or La Ceiba over Tocoa. Theres nothing there and nothing to do. At least in La Ceiba you have river rafting, national parks, beaches, etc. and in Trujillo you have better beaches and some interesting architecture and history.
As for Honduran women, I’ve had hot and warm, but no cold. I guess it just depends on the woman as to how hot. They are generally laid back as a people, probably due to the heat, and I met my fair share a lazy fuckers. However, I did have an arrangement with a stripper in La Ceiba and she was one of the most passionate women I’ve been with. She was from the Bay Islands though and women there are rumored to be hotter than the mainland girls. You may have to do some experimenting and let us know what you discover.
Good luck.
Guys,
this Honduras thing makes me thinking. After I read some stories from several posters in the sections I realy start to think that I might go to Honduras instead of venezuela.
Apparently the price level will be higher in ven. Tickets however will be (me as european) more expensive for me.
But I like mulata's,morena's en canelitas very much.
Besides that I think Honduras (on average ) will be more safe then Venezuela. Especialy Isla margarita gets more and more westernized by mass turism from Europe (and the US/Canada?)
What about the price level of the hotels?
What is the best place to make a start in Honduras...the capital of other places?
kind regards,
Johan
Johan007,
I've been to Honduras about 20+ times over the past few years due to finding a girlfriend down there. I've not mongered down there due to her, and will leave that advice to others more qualified, but will toss a few items to you. Never been to Venezuela though.
1) Honduras has a very high crime rate, and the policia are useless. I am large, and grew up in downtown Detroit (a large crimeridden city) and am always aware of my surroundings, but you have to be careful.
At the clubs you will see people checking their guns at the door, like a hat check. Get a ticket and when you leave retrieve your weapon. My novia is Honduran and will refuse to go into many sections of her city (Tegucigalpa, the capital).
This having been said, I have never had an incident. Numerous times in a bar where I was the only gringo and we left quickly due to the looks I was receiving being a 47 yr old gringo with a gorgeous 28 (looks 23) Hondurena.
2) It's a very poor country so as the reports have been saying, mongering is inexpensive and the women love us.
3) As mentioned I never mongered, but always received many, many looks. Sometimes when my novia would go to the bathroom, I would get women approaching me to dance, or talk. Usually they would exit quickly before my novia would return, but a few got quite the abuse from my girl.
4) Many beautiful women there.
5) It is third world, if you stick to local cuisine prices are cheap, even great seafood in the beach areas, but if you need a large steak, or french food, you're gonna pay (if you can find it).
Tegucigalpa is the capital, many bars and restaurants to meet semi pros, or just girls looking for fun.
La Ceiba is party central (although reports are that the mongering is slowing). The partying though will never slow. It's a town on the beach and numerous places to party all night, just be careful!
San Pedro Sula is the working area, nicely built up because of much foriegn investment (read sweatshops). Nice restaurants, clubs and hotels due to the foreigners.
The bay islands (primarily Roatan) is also a great party place where it never stops. World class scuba diving if you like and more english speakers than the other cities.
Other smaller cities Trujillo and the like are decent for visits.
I love Honduras, despite my perhaps negative comments above. I like the people, and the country.
Anyway a little rambling for your consideration.

Johan, heres my 2 cents:
You may want to reconsider. Yes, there are beautiful women in Honduras, but the voluminous number of uglies drags the average down pretty low - as opposed to Venezuela, where hotties out-number the grotesque. It really all depends on what you’re looking for.
Honduras will definitely be more of an adventure, it will be cheaper, and you’ll probably get better stories (not all good) out of a trip there, but quality (hotel, food, women, etc) will be lower. The only claim to fame of Honduras is that it’s the poorest country in Central America.
Also, regarding the number of Garifuna’s (black), I was surprised that there are hardly any mulatas. It seems the races don’t mix that much, if at all. I’ve seen estimates of 100,000 Garifuna in Honduras, but I don’t think anybody really knows. They are very dark black and still speak Igñeri (combo of Arahuaco, French, Swahili, and Bantu) but typically speak Spanish as well. I didn’t meet any that spoke English, except in the Bay Islands.
I had the pleasure of spending a few nights with a Garifuna or two (it brought back memories of beating off to National Geographic when I was a kid) but had much better times with the latinas.
Regarding hotels, they range from inhospitable to a typical 4 star, with prices ranging from $5 to $200 a night. I stayed in several hotels of varying classes throughout the country and never had an issue bringing a girl up. I don’t think there is such a thing as chica-unfriendly when it comes to hotels in Honduras. An above average, good, clean hotel will cost you $45 to $60 per night.
Regarding where to start, it depends on what you’re looking for. Personally, I prefer to actually do something or learn something and like to get laid in between adventures. Others prefer to spend their days nursing hangovers and nights banging working girls. If you fall into the second group, it doesn’t matter where you go.
If you’re interested, I prefer San Pedro Sula over Tegucigalpa for just about everything, including climate, women, food, and other entertainment. I’d start there, possibly go to Copan (ruins), then head up to the coast for a few days, probably La Ceiba. If I had time, I’d also spend a few fishing/diving off Roatan.
Good luck.
Maltrufio, Migrant One,
Thank you guys for your good update info and tips. I realy appreciate that.I was in DR,Peru,Brasil and Colombia (cartagena and Bogota) before. In Europe I was in several Eastern European countries and even lived in Romania (my ex was romanian...) So I guess I am a bit "used"to dangerous countries,corruptcy,militairy on the street and "mucho armas a la calle"....LOL
But heee even here in the Netherlands you can get shot...robbed and killed. (Holland has the MOST murderrate from all the EU...!!!) In my region we have many problems with drugs and the crime that is coming along with it.
I will travel LOW PROFILE.....I will NOT take fancy cameras or expensive watches or clothing. I will sleep in normal hotels. And yes.....also for one night a real shithole will do. As long as the sheets are clean,the toilet is working and I can lock my door it is fine with me.
I myself am not so big...only 178cm (don't know what that is in inches) but I am firmly build. Big advange of me will be that I speak decent spanish.
Probably I will have a BUDDY of mine there too. (he is a real Brasil fan...but he wants also to try something new)
San pedro is definately on our list...just as TELA and la ceiba. I myself am not too keen on the capital. My experience tells me that in the smaller cities you can get laid much easier (and cheaper) then in the big capital.
Will look into Honduras deeper.
thanks again
Johan
OO guys forgot something.
About the chica's. Like I said before in many posts from me: I rather have a 7 that fucks the shit outta me...then a 9 that is like a wet towel...LOL
A 9 that does NOT ring my bell is useless for me.
If a girl is talkative,friendly and has some humor and is GOOD in the sack that makes up a great deal;even if she is "only" a 6 or a 7.
On the other hand many 9's would be arrogant and maybe not so eager to act good in the sack because they KNOW they can have ANY guy later on.
And last but not least: if you turn out the lights it's the act that counts;-)
CU guys
Johan.
Guys,
again I want to thank you for all info you want to share with me (and others on this board). Honduras is here a very unknown country to me. Most of my collegues didn't even knew were Hon. was situated on the map! Bit by bit I am collecting more info about it.
I found these links via a dutch portal site of Honduras:
http://www.hondurasnews.tv/htms/chicas.htm
and
http://www.nwint.com/members/honduras.html
Is this serious?? Or are these women prostitutes?
On the later site there are some seriously looking types but also women that look like they are in for the $$.
From experience I know in some latin countries (like Brasil,DR or Colombia) it is very unclear were a "normal"girl ends...and were a hooker starts. So I ask here if any of you Hon. vets know more about this.
greetz,
Johan
Johan - I think these are those "dating" sites where poor local girls are looking for a gringo prince to swoop down and save them from a life of poverty by marrying them and bringing them back to the US to live the life of a queen. Thats my impression anyway. I don't think they are professional prostitutes.
However, having said that, with Honduras being so poor, there really is no line between "normal" and "hooker" and I've known several that kind of floated back and forth. While living there, some "normal" girls tried to give me freebies, but I always insisted on paying (most of the time anyway) to keep the relationship where I wanted it, strictly professional. I don't think this would have been the case had I been a tourist on vacation.
On the other hand, if you are a tourist and the girl knows it, she knows she only has a small amount of time to make a good impression, so she might give up the pussy relatively quick. It wouldn't hurt to contact some of these girls and meet with them. If you dont' get lucky, there are plenty of professionals waiting to take your business.
Hi Guys,
do any of you know IF it's possible to RENT an appartment in Honduras? If so in what pricerange i have to think? US $ 15 a day or 30 or even more? I do NOT need a penthouse with a jacuzzi. Just normal flat will do with toilet,bath,bed and a fridge and maybe a cooking device. But above all it has to be SAFE;-)
I did this in Colombia and in Brasil and I was more satisfied with it then with any hotelroom.
I like my privacy and that could be a problem in some hotels (cleaning ladies knocking on your door at 8.00 AM or very curious hotelguards etc etc..!) Also in some hotels bringing in chica's could be a problem.
Here is another one I could not solve myself: are there any ATM machines that are reliable in Honduras?
I mean not the visas but the normal deb/credit cards.
I have one mastercard (Maestro)with a cirrus logo.
With this card I took money (local cash) from ATM's in DR,Colombia,Peru,Brasil and most eastern European countries. Afterall I think it's very unwise to walk arround with huge amounts of cash $$$ in your pockets. Besides that going to the banc and change it for local money will be timerobbing and very boring.......
Can I also exchange €uro's in Honduras?? I only saw US Dollar rates...so maybe they only take dollars?
How's the expat situation in Honduras? Does anyone know? I can imagine that Hon. so close to the USA there must be living some Americans or even other Europeans like me. One day I surely would retire in a nice latina country with a nice chica and do stuff that I realy like.
I once saw a documentory about a british couple that were running an animal hospital in panama! Or a french guy that had a diving instruction school in Costa Rica.
thanks!
Johan
