Honduras Travel

“Get down!” our rafting guide shouted as our boat passed through a labyrinth of towering rocks about the size of a two-story house. I myself was a river guide, many years ago and the razor-thin passageways along the “Rio Cangrejal” (Cangrejal River) in La Ceiba, Honduras were bringing back memories of nasty flips and scary swims.

“Get up!” Our guide yelled right before entering a passageway. I sprang up, ready to paddle. “Forward! Forward! Go!” I quickly dove my paddle into the water, and found I was competing for space with the towering rock wall. Suddenly, the rock walls fell away and we entered a technical rock garden with no end in sight; but I couldn’t have been happier with the less-claustrophobic challenge ahead.

The multiculturalism, biodiversity, lengthy beaches and natural wonders of Central America make it difficult to decide on a particular travel destination within the region. Among the seven tropical countries, Honduras offers both urban and wildly rural adventures as well as a massive stretch of Caribbean coastline on its northern border. Hike through cloud forests, bird watch on a massive lake, and dive in the coral-filled waters off of the Bay Islands.

It’s a miracle that earth has such beauties in its lap. It is simply impossible to create a wonder like the ones which are naturally made. If we see the planet from space, and take a glance towards America, then you can see a bridge that connects North America with South America. Honduras lies on that particular bridge which we can see from space. It’s amazing to feel the glory of nature, especially when we stand at a place which is surrounded with the greenery, and colorful natural beauties.

The whole purpose of this trip was to show people that, despite the travel advisory warnings on Honduras by many of the Western nations, it is actually a very safe place to travel.

There has been some unrest in the capital city, but there wasn’t a military coup as the Western media says. Also, anything that is going on in the country is happening in Tegucigalpa, and though that is very little, it certainly has no effect on tourists to the country. Most of the country has carried on with their every day lives. As we traveled around the country, I was shocked by how few people there were … the restaurants were empty, the hotels were unoccupied, the beaches were bare.

To start, Cusuco National Park is located west to San Pedro Sula, Honduras. the cloud forest has 2 zones. The core zone and the buffer zone. The core zone is the area where the forest is most dense and virgin, and it’s more protected. The buffer zone surrounds the core zone; it’s the area where mountain villages settled.

The huge diversity of activities you can do in Cusuco National park is amazing. I will give you top 10 I most like. Our guide from junglexpedition tours showed us the way.
