El Salvador borders Honduras to its southwest. From a purely economic standpoint, the relations between Honduras and El Salvador are good. These splendid economic relations also extend to Guatemala. In fact, these countries have made some serious investments among themselves such that they are almost a single nation. One of the reasons why these ties are so strong is that the three countries have a lot in common when it comes to culture. There are two border crossings available between El Salvador and Honduras: one at El Poy and one at El Amatillo. The total border length between the two countries is around 126 miles.听

On the Nicaraguan side, it passes through places such as the North Caribbean Coast Autonomous Region, Nueva Segovia, and Madriz. Between 1823 and 1838 prior to independence, Honduras was a part of the Central American Federation while Nicaragua was a part of the United Provinces of Central America.
