For details, contact local port authorities. There are sailings from La Ceiba and Puerto Cort s to the Bay Islands several times a week. Arrangements must be made with local boat owners. There are only three railways, confined to the northern coastal region and mainly used for transport between banana plantations. Visitors can, however, take a trip from San Pedro Sula on a banana train, and from La Ceiba on a tourist train.
Traffic drives on the right.
However, internal air transport is much more convenient for business visitors. An all-weather road exists from Tegucigalpa to San Pedro Sula, Puerto Cort s, La Ceiba and towns along the Caribbean coast, as well as to the towns around the Gulf of Fonseca in the south. Local lines run regular services to most large towns, but the services are well used and booking in advance is essential. On the whole the services are very cheap. For other journeys, fares should be agreed before commencing journey.
