Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Workshop
Zamorano, Honduras, 29-31 March 2005

Agenda

The workshop agenda is available.

Travel to Zamorano, Honduras

Most Latin American countries do not require visas to enter Honduras, except for nationals from Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia and Perú. If participants from these countries have US visas on their passports, the permit to enter Honduras takes only a day or two. If not, the visa has to be consulted and it usually takes six weeks to be issued. The same applies to nationals from Haiti. We advise you to check with your travel agent for any other requirements.

Workshop participants should plan to fly into and out of Tegucigalpa´s Toncontin International Airport (airport code TGU) by arranging your flights via airlines such as American Airlines, Continental, TACA or COPA Airlines.
