Honduras has historically held a reputation for being one of the most dangerous countries to travel to in the Americas. However, in recent years, a lot has changed. Is Honduras still the violent, corrupt country it used to be? We decided to see for ourselves. As part of the Pan-American road trip, which started in Canada, Honduras would be the 6th country for the truck. Initially planning to spend a few weeks on our way to Nicaragua, a change of plans would force us to loop around the country, going from the northern border to the Caribbean coast, the southern border, and all the way to the Pacific. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi!

Overlanding in general is tough in this country, and camping is almost non-existent. But the coffee is good, the people are kind, and there is ample opportunity for some off-road action and wildlife spotting. The truck is a 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (KZJ78 w/ a 1KZ TE) for anyone interested. Build: If you enjoyed the video and would like to support the channel please check out the website below!
