Erandique is one of the several municipalities of the Lempira department. One has to travel 65 kilometres (40 mi) on road CA11A from the city of Gracias passing by San Juan (del Caite). A second road (V-787) that leads to Erandique is going by the town of "Dolores" in Intibuca. Also this roads leads to the municipality of San Francisco. The main disadvantage of this second road is that is not repaired often. If one enters from San Juan, Erandique has one exit to San Francisco and the other to the rest of the municipalities such as San Andrés and so on.
The town is served by Erandique (Gualguire) Airport, a grass airstrip 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) east of town.
