Taxis and intercity buses serve the airport; taxis into San Pedro Sula cost roughly 200-400 HNL, while buses to regional terminals are much cheaper.
Comayagua / Palmerola International (XPL): Serving central Honduras near Tegucigalpa, Palmerola is useful if you are coming from the south. From Palmerola you’ll need a road transfer (shuttle or bus) to reach towns in Yoro Department; travel times are typically several hours by road.

Bus (intercity): Long‑distance buses link major cities and departmental capitals. From San Pedro Sula or Tegucigalpa you can catch intercity buses or vans to regional bus terminals; from there local colectivos or buses serve smaller towns and villages. Fares depend on distance (short regional hops can be a few dozen to a few hundred Honduran lempira) and travel times vary widely by road and traffic.
