Getting to and away

For a transport hub, La Entrada's bus station is surprisingly sparce. In fact, calling it a bus station at all is being pretty generous. “Vacant lot” captures the atmosphere better.

The reason for this is that few bus companies actually use the station. If you're transferring, you'll most likely have to wait by the side of the highway. For the exact spot you're best off asking someone in the station. They'll know where to go and on-sight directions are going to be much clearer than my written description. Regardless:

If you're heading to San Pedro Sula, wait on the highway just in front of the bus terminal. You may want to walk a bit to the right so you're not impeding traffic. Cost is 40 L, last bus leaves at 7pm.

For Gracias or El Salvador you're probably going to have to head to Santa Rosa de Copan first. Cross the street so you're facing the station and wait there.

For Copan Ruinas, cross the street at keep walking. You should see a side street jutting out from the main highway. That's the road to Copan, on the right-hand side. It's an especially good idea to get directions for this one, as the road can be tough to see and drivers on this route can be pickier about where they stop. Last bus to Copan leaves at 3:20pm.
