Additional Comments and Suggestions:
- ATM machines are easily accessible in larger cities, but are less common in small communities
- ATM's will generally accept either MasterCard or VISA cards
- Dollars are usually accepted for larger purchases, but lempiras are recommended for small items such as snacks and beverages
- It is NOT recommended to bring Traveler's Checks, as it sometimes can be difficult to find a bank willing to exchange them
- Exchange rates are much more favorable in Honduran airports and banks than those offered in U.S. airports
- People that bring two credit cards and $250-300 cash usually return home with money left over |
