Highlights
- The geography of Central America forms a chokepoint for drugs and violence traveling from sources in South America to markets in the north.
- In Honduras, northward movement is limited to two corridors; the lack of any logistically significant alternative routes north concentrates opportunities as well as crime on these corridors.
- Knowing where and when to increase defensive measures is the best way to stay out of trouble in Honduras.
