Honduras Adventures in Nature (Adventures in Nature (John Muir)) [Englisch] [Taschenbuch]

Most people don't consider Honduras when they think of a trip that includes sea kayaking, exploring Mayan ruins, and snorkeling, but this Central American country provides these and many more adventures in nature, all with the slower-paced benefits afforded by a less "discovered" destination. This book not only can help travelers create a fun adventure, but it also educates them about how their trip can positively impact the country. Without becoming pedantic, well-seasoned Honduran travelers James Gollin and Ron Mader explain how "tourism is an integral part of environmental preservation" in Honduras as they delve into the largest tract of remaining forest in all of Central America and swim along the longest coral reef in the Northern Hemisphere. Chapters provide advice on places to stay, where to eat, and how to get from one place to the next. Interesting sidebars provide profiles of environmental projects and problems while allowing travelers to learn how to become part of the solutions. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

At the same time, it also explains both sides of the country's environmental struggle: how political and economic forces are destroying nature and how local environmental groups are working to build a sustainable society.
