Hi all, we're making good time through Central America so it's time for another budget update for Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. We're still way under our projected budget of $200/day but creeping up on our per day averages.
Guatemala was a surprise in that we expected similar prices to Mexico but things were quite a bit more expensive.
Honduras looks expensive below but that is only because we spent little time in the country and had two full fuel tank fill-ups plus all the border fees on each end. In reality, prices were on par with Mexico, if not cheaper. Honduras is definitely a place where I wish we could have spent more time. Honduras was also our first border crossing where we've had to grease the skids a bit to get through. It certainly wasn't expensive ($20) but has become a bit more of a regular occurrence at Central America borders.
Nicaragua prices were similar to Mexico but it was our most expensive place so far for fuel.
