​Border Crossing: Honduras to Guatemala at Corinto

This post details my experience of how to cross the Honduras Guatemala border at Corinto, using local transport from San Pedro Sula to Puerto Barrios in October 2022.

​This post details my experience of travelling from San Pedro Sula, Honduras to Puerto Barrios, Guatemala via the Corinto border crossing in October 2022

In San Pedro Sula I walked the 5 minutes to Mc D, got my morning coffee fix and asked the server the best place to get a bus to the Gran Central, the shopping mall/bus station where I arrived yesterday. She told me of a taxi colectivo for 20 Lp near the City Mall across the road.

Of course, I couldn't find it. So I resorted to getting a taxi normal. 60 Lp and the guy took me straight to where the minibus directo to Puerto Cortes 65 Lp was leaving. Saved me a long search.

I could have picked up the Minivan in town had I known. Getting info ain't always so easy as locals are never exactly sure and I just waste too much time trying to find out. And walking, looking lost ain't ideal here.

Just out of town, the first police check. All the men off the bus inc me, frisked. Obviously, women do not carry guns here.

I ride the bus to the last stop:

And took a chicken bus to La Frontera.

I changed my last Lempira into Quetzales, so I had a good amount together with my left-over notes from last year's sortie through Guatemala.

The border crossing was easy. Out and In. 5 minutes later I was in Guatemala.
There was no need to show proof of having been vaccinated or a negative test.

But there seemed to be some problems down the road.
There were no buses. A young Guatemalan couple told me, there were some issues up the road, concerning flooding after Hurricane Julia. We had to walk. No other way for it.

The trucks were backed up, waiting to cross the border into Honduras.

Then the trucks began backing up on the road heading away from the border.
We walked under the hot sun. Then there were buses, cars, and minivans, all going nowhere.
​There was a blockade. The villages were under water and the Government had done nothing to help them, so as a way to voice their anger, they blocked the road.

We walked through. And my new friends organised a minivan to Puerto Barrios. 20 Q.

​And once in Puerto Barrios, I used my own blog post written last year to guide me/jog my memory to travel from Puerto Barrios to Livingston by boat.

I reached the dock around 3:20 pm and got a ticket to Livingston. 50 Q.

And then I stayed a few days at the Casa Rosada where I had stayed last year.
