Honduras Borders: Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua

Yes, Honduras shares a land border with Guatemala. It is one of three countries bordering Honduras:

  • Guatemala – to the west (~244 km / 152 mi)
  • El Salvador – to the southwest (~391 km / 243 mi)
  • Nicaragua – to the south/southeast (~940 km / 584 mi), including a maritime boundary in the Gulf of Fonseca (Pacific)

Border Details

  • Guatemala–Honduras: Runs through mountainous terrain; key crossings at El Florido / Agua Caliente (CA-4 highway) and Corinto.
  • El Salvador–Honduras: Shorter, defined partly by the Goascorán River; main crossing at El Amatillo (Pan-American Highway).
  • Nicaragua–Honduras: Longest border; crosses mountains, rivers, and the Gulf of Fonseca. Main land crossing at Las Manos / Guasaule (CA-1 / Pan-American).

Regional Context

All four nations are members of the CA-4 (Central America-4) Border Control Agreement (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua), allowing free movement of citizens across their shared borders with just a national ID card—similar to the Schengen Area.
