Living in Comayagua means being close to a major transportation hub without the chaos of a big city. The new Comayagua International Airport, opened in 2021, is just 6 km south and connects you to Tegucigalpa and beyond. Its massive terminal and long runway make it a serious regional player.

You’ll also notice the Soto Cano Air Base, 8 km south, which dominates the area with its 1,800 US military personnel and Honduran Air Force operations. This brings a steady presence but also means occasional noise and activity. Rent is dirt cheap—$113 for a one-bedroom in the city center—but don’t expect luxury. This is a practical, no-frills place for those who value affordability and proximity to infrastructure.

Comayagua works if you’re looking for a low-cost base near major transport links, but it’s not for those seeking a polished expat scene or urban amenities.
