Anyone know how easy it is to get across the border to
Honduras from Puerto Barrios. I know its possible to get
from PB to utila by boat, but do you have to cool your
heeels for a week if you just miss one. We are on limited
time and can't afford delays.

You can catch a boat from PB to Livingston and from there
your off to Utila.

GUATEMALA TO HONDURAS
1 US = 6 Quetzals
1 US = 12 Limperas
Catch the 7AM bus for Entre Rios at the central market in Puerto Barrios. The 45
minute ride cost 6 Quetzals. The migracion officials there are courteous & will only take
a couple minutes of your time & 10Q. Reboard the bus for the remainder of the short
ride to Finca Inca & a 12 Quetzal, 45 minute boat ride to Tio Tinto.
At Rio Tinto there is a small tienda where you can buy a soft drink, change
currency & pay the 20 Limperas for another 45 minute boat ride to Cuyamelito. There a
stake bed truck with wooden benches will take you to Tegucigalpita for another 20 L. In
Tegucigalpita a connecting bus will deliver you to Puerto Cortes in one hour for 20 L.
It's possible to start this trip in Livingston on the same day but harder to drive a
good bargain for the 45 minute boat ride across the gulf. The cheapest bargain that I've
arranged is 20Q, but I know of people who paid 50.
In Puerto Barrios close to the central market & the bus station, a mile from the
boat dock, is Hotel Henry. It has OK rooms with private baths & a decent breakfast for
60Q...140 for AC. Has a nice lobby & satellite TV...I caught the bulls & some fun
company one Sunday afternoon.
another way is if you get of the bus before finca inca at
the finca arizona, cross the bridge there to honduras and at
the other side hop on a pick up truck or a bus to
Cuyamelito. from there to tegucigalpita and so on....
it took me from omoa in honduras to livingston about 4.5
hours, so if you have good connections you can make it to
la ceiba from livingston in a day....
