Another short flight will take you to La Ceiba, back on the mainland, where you’ll be shown to your hotel. From here you can discover the secrets of the little-visited Pico Bonito National Park – one of the largest in the country. This is a place of diverse habitats; including mountain landscapes, dry lowland regions, cloud forests and dense jungle so untouched you’ll believe you’re the first person to discover it. Look out for jaguars, wild pigs, noisy monkeys and throngs of exotic birds while you’re trekking, but if you take the white water rafting option, look out for the river!
The following day will see you snorkelling from a 22 foot panga and lunching in picture postcard Cayo Cachahuate. On your final day you’ll visit the Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge to track indigenous animals like howler and white-faced monkeys, crocodiles, caiman, sloths, iguanas and turtles.
Stay: Four nights in a superior cabana at the Lodge at Pico Bonito.
