Tela:
A sleepy coastal town, Tela has been slowly, but surely working its way to becoming an important beach destination. Located less than 90 km east of San Pedro Sula’s International airport, and connected by an excellent paved highway, Tela is very easily reached from San Pedro Sula. If you are driving your own car, the driving time is under one hour from San Pedro Sula.

Guanaja:
Lying almost directly east of Roatan, Guanaja was first discovered by Columbus during his fourth and last voyage to the Americas on July 30, 1502. Upon arriving there, he found excellent quality water, as well as natives in giant canoes holding up to 25 men each. Thus, we know that the Paya Indians populated Guanaja during this time.

The region east of Trujillo, and towards the Nicaraguan border is generally referred to as La Moskitia, or the Mosquito Coast. It is very sparsely populated, inaccessible by land and home to the largest tract of virgin tropical rain forest in the North American hemisphere. A good part of this area is protected by law under one of five distinct zones: The Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve, the Tawahka Anthropological Reserve, the Patuca National Park, the Cruta Caratasca Wildlife Refuge and the Rus Rus Biological Reserve. The area is populated by several indigenous groups, of which the Pech, Tawahka, Garifuna, Miskitos and native mestizos are the most predominant.

Valle de Angeles, Santa Barbara, Tegucigalpa, Guanaja, Ocotepeque, Santa Rosa de Copan and Pico Bonito - all beautifull mountainous regions in Honduras waiting for you to visit.

Lying just a few miles off the coast of La Ceiba, Cayos Cochinos can usually be seen from the coast on a clear day. The Cayos Cochinos are a group of two small islands (Cayo Menor and Cayo Grande) and 13 small coral cays situated 30 kilometers northeast of La Ceiba on the northern shores of Honduras. Since 1993, the Cayos Cochinos were designated a Marine Protected Area and in 2003, it was further declared a Marine Natural Monument with the Honduras Coral Reef Fund (HCRF) administering the conservation of the area.

La Ceiba is the third largest city in Honduras, and is probably the country’s most vibrant. A relatively young city, it got its name from a huge Ceiba tree that was next to the beach and provided shade to the workers at the dock and locals during the afternoon. It is the capital of the department of Atlantida, one of the 18 departments of Honduras. La Ceiba has long been the operation hub of the Standard Fruit Company, producers of bananas, pineapples, grapefruits and many other agricultural goods that Honduras exports. Although La Ceiba is not their port for major shipping activities, it is their administrative hub. The main port for their exports is Puerto Castilla, opposite of Trujillo in the beautiful Bay of Trujillo, 100 miles east of La Ceiba.
