Where or How can I find exact driving directions from the States to Honduras?

Question

I am planning on driving to Honduras from Tennessee, with a fluent Spanish/English speaking husband, & have read several different versions on driving to Honduras. I would like to be able to find exact directions, travelling on the Pan American Hwy. through Mexico & then onto Honduras. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Don't drive at night.

Answer 2

If you are a member of AAA, they can give you driving instructions through Mexico to the Guatemala border, the longest stretch of the trip. If you are not a member, it might be worth joining. You can get an international drivers license and other materials useful for travel from them. They can also advise you about insurance, a significant issue when driving south of the US border.

Once in Guatemala, the Panamericana is really the only choice, for the coastal road heads into El Salvador. It carries a great deal of traffic and can be quite chaotic. I have not driven in Honduras, but I understand the roads are not very good. It is probably best to stay in Guatemala as long as possible before crossing the border--a function of where you are going in Honduras (only to Copan, to San Pedro Sula, to Tegucigalpa, etc.).
