​Backpacking in Honduras - San Pedro Sula, one of the most dangerous cities in the world

October 15, 2022 | Tagged: Honduras

After backpacking Tegucigalpa, capital of one of the most dangerous countries in the world, Honduras, I took the bus to San Pedro Sula Honduras, said to be one of the most dangerous cities in the world.

San Pedro Sula, the most dangerous city in one of the most dangerous countries in the world. How bad could it be?

After checking in, I headed into the centre. No passport, no bank cards, just 10 USD worth of Lempira, easy accesible in my shirt pocket. My new phone was in my zipped chest pocket, kinda hidden and my old Samsung J5 in my front jeans pocket.

Paranoid? Most definitely!
San Pedro Sula Honduras
Honduras used to have a good railway network. Here is a small depot in San Pedro Sula with abandoned engines:

Quite a police presence around.

I passed the Despensa Familiar and picked up a few beers. And headed back.

As OK as I felt walking around, not one to push my luck, it uses a great deal of nervous energy backpacking the most dangerous city in one of the most dangerous countries in the world, I retired for the afternoon, did my immigration PreCheck for departure and caught up on some blogging.

Is San Pedro Sula as dangerous as they say it is? Does it deserve the label, one of the most dangerous cities in the world?

Here are my thoughts summed up in my latest YouTube video: Is San Pedro Sula Dangerous?
