In the surrounds of Tela, the newly instituted tourist police from the Tela Chamber of Tourism keep a watchful eye on the more popular parks and destinations. Tourists and residents should avoid walking at night in most areas of Honduras, especially in the major cities. Night driving is also discouraged.
Tourists, in particular, should not hike alone in backcountry areas, nor walk alone on beaches, historic ruins or trails. For Taxis, have small bills available for payment, as taxi drivers often do not have change.
Do not wear excessive jewelry in downtown or rural areas. Do not carry large sums of money, ATM or credit cards you do not need, or other valuables.
