Not only do Honduras' Bay Islands offer some of the most affordable diving in the hemisphere, Roatan, Utila and exclusive Guanaja sit on the very same barrier reef as world-famous sites such as Cozumel. Add pretty beaches and a largely English-speaking population and you can see why divers are coming to the islands in ever-greater numbers. Although Honduras marks the very southern edge of the Mayan empire, it is the site of Copan, one of its most important cities. The ruins overlook a picturesque valley studded with ceremonial stelae - the most intricate in the Mayan world - while the nearby colonial town of Copan Ruinas has a relaxed pace and an almost-perfect climate. At its best, Honduras is Central America at its most relaxed, affordable and authentic - and you can often have it all to yourself.
