an 140 ft. drop from the top. Its
popularity is usually attributed
not only to its beauty but its
accessibility at the base and in
a cave behind the fall.

reefs.. I’d love to just tread
through the pretty clear blue

 Cuando voy a Honduras…
 Being that for every US Dollar is just about 20 Lempira,
once the hotel and plane trip is paid for I’d bring an
extra thousand dollars because there it would feel like
19,800 dollars.
 So in total, I would bring $ 3, 600 for a 15 day vacation.
That is quite a bargain for all that Honduras has to
offer!
