You have a hard earned vacation coming up. Any ideas? Here’s one: Honduras. Honduras is the most beautiful country in the Western Hemisphere. No offense, Uncle Sam, but these guys got us beat solid. A picturesque paradise, you’d be hard pressed to find a better travel destination.
But beware of the State Department travel warnings in regard to Honduras. Honduras has the highest murder rate in the world, and their law enforcement is limited in their ability to combat rampant and nationwide crime and violence. Thousands of Americans visit Honduras every year, however, and are not targeted based on their nationality.
