The cost of living in Honduras is generally considered moderate, with lower expenses for housing, food, and services compared to many Western countries, but it can vary depending on the region and lifestyle.

Honduras has a predominantly tropical climate, with a rainy season from May to November and a dry season from December to April. The coastal regions are typically hot and humid, while the interior highlands are cooler. Hurricanes can affect the country, particularly the northern coast, between June and November.

The educational system in Honduras is structured into three main levels: pre-primary, primary, and secondary education, followed by higher education. Pre-primary education is not mandatory and caters to children from ages 3 to 6. Primary education is compulsory and free in public schools, starting at age 6 and lasting for six years, culminating in a primary education certificate. Secondary education is divided into two cycles: the first three years, known as ciclo común, provide a basic secondary education, and the last two years are diversified into academic or technical tracks, leading to a high school diploma. The academic track prepares students for university education, while the technical track provides vocational training. The school year in Honduras typically runs from February to November. The quality of education can vary significantly, with private schools generally offering higher quality education than public schools. Many families moving to Honduras from abroad opt for private or international schools to ensure a consistent education that aligns with international standards. The literacy rate in Honduras has been improving, but challenges such as poverty, rural access, and limited resources still impact the educational system.

The healthcare system in Honduras consists of both public and private sectors. The public healthcare system is managed by the Honduran Ministry of Health and the Honduran Social Security Institute. It provides services to the majority of the population, especially those who cannot afford private healthcare. However, the public healthcare system is often underfunded and faces challenges such as limited resources, understaffing, and long waiting times. Private healthcare in Honduras is available and offers higher quality services with more modern facilities and shorter waiting times, but it is more expensive and thus less accessible to the general population. Expats and digital nomads can access public healthcare if they are legal residents and contribute to the social security system, but many opt for private health insurance to ensure access to private hospitals and clinics.
