HONDURAS, have many beautiful places, an example of them is a group of tropical islands that sit in the clear
waters of the Caribbean Sea, Cayos Cochinos provides a relaxed atmosphere with many different activities. Other
beautiful place is Copan Ruins are an ancient Mayan site, discovered in 1570 by Diego García de Palacio. This
area was deeply important as a political, civil and religious center of the Copan Valley. In the caribbean exist a
treasure called Roatanis a long, thin Bay Island that has become a popular Honduras tourist attraction Roatán also
has pine-forested mountainous areas, and the east side of the island is still relatively remote and unexplored. In
the central part of Honduras we found the Lake Yojoa, located in a cavity formed by volcanoes long ago, is the
largest lake in Honduras and The former capital of Honduras, Comayagua is a high elevation city found along the
highway between Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula. Another beautie of Honduras Is Pico Bonito National Park is
located in the Nombre de Dios mountain range, bordered in by pineapple plantations, cattle farms and the Rio
Santiago and Cangrejal rivers. Inside the park is a mountain peak that reaches up to above sea level. Pico Bonito’s
plant and wildlife vary from tropical forests in its valleys to high-elevation cloud forests on the peaks. A popular
destination within the park is The Lodge at Pico Bonito, a privately owned ecolodge that is surrounded by lush
wildlife and forestry. Pico Bonito is regarded as one of the best parks for outdoor activities in Honduras, and there
are tours and other outdoor adventures such as kayaking or whitewater rafting. And the last one for me is the Rio
Platano Biosphere Reserve, is one of the best places to see the plants and animals of Central America’s tropical
rainforest. Along with thick rainforests, open savannahs and mountainous regions, Río Plátano is home to more
than 2,000 indigenous people and many important archeological sites. The best way to explore is on foot – book
a guided hiking tour along the mountain trails and you might spot harpy eagles, colorful macaws, sloths and
maybe even a jaguar hiding in the undergrowth. River rafting tours are also available for adrenaline seekers.
