Quick Tips:
SAFETY
San Pedro Sula, like so many large and growing cities, does have its fair share of crime. Travel common sense should be used at all times, such as taking taxis at night or when you are not sure of where you are going. Fares should range between US in the downtown area and should cost US from the airport to the downtown area. Visiting poor areas (slumming, as some call it) is never a good idea. Also, do not wear fancy jewelry, watches, or expensive sunglasses, and don't carry large amounts of money or valuables with you. American Express Traveller's Cheques should be carried instead of cash.
