Trujillo, Honduras----A Stellar Investment Still Under the Radar

In the event you need an incentive to purchase beachfront property in this country, Honduras is ranked 7th in the world on the Happy Planet Index, an innovative world index of human well being and environmental impact measuring country by country where people live long, happy lives!!! The US ranking is 150th!

Contributing to this high index ranking is Honduras' north coast town of Trujillo and its refreshingly slow paced lifestyle. Trujillo is truly the last frontier on the Caribbean Sea with beachfront prices one tenth of those in Hawaii, The Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, other mature resort destinations, and even Roatan where the focus of foreign buyers has pushed beachfront units to the million dollar level.

The Trujillo area is vibrant. The bay around Trujillo is one of the most beautiful, unspoiled bays in the world. Clear turquoise waters, pristine beaches, lush jungles, breathtaking mountains, challenging rivers, and fascinating ancient ruins make Trujillo the type of place where you could spend a lifetime. Vast expanses of Mother Nature are to be found everywhere-even a large national park to hike and enjoy the view. Yet there is an upbeat night life reflecting the cultural diversity of this city founded by Christopher Columbus in 1502.

Honduras is enjoying a boom in popularity as the rich and famous have found a place where they can still travel unknown and are buying up much of Honduras' oceanfront properties for their private get-a-ways…and future investments!

Recognizing the popularity of Roatan Island, its million dollar real estate prices, and destination for more and more cruise ship stops, the new Honduran government has launched several initiatives for the Trujillo area which are designed to make this historical, colonial town move from under the investment and tourist radar to shining in the headlights. New roads, expansion of Puerto Castillo, and daily air service to the mile long, US built runway are but a few plans designed to make Trujillo the next "go-to" locale in the Caribbean. In a couple more years there will be major changes in this old colonial city.

First time visitors are amazed by the warm Honduran hospitality which leads to returning travelers ultimately deciding a second home or retirement in Trujillo is the best decision-and a good investment. Honduras is a place of great natural beauty and beachfront property prices are still reasonable, the cost of living is low, crime is almost non-existent in Trujillo, and health care is top-notch and inexpensive.

And if you choose to retire in Honduras, you'll find that the Honduran government will not tax your U.S. Social Security and pension payments. Actually, as a foreign resident you will be entitled to tax breaks.

Tremendous natural resources and a willing work force have come together to put Honduras on a path of prosperity and Trujillo sits right in the middle of that future.

Come, capture the experience of Trujillo before it is on everyone's radar.
