　　This airy two-story museum walks visitors through the history of the Valle de Sula from its pre-Columbian days to the modern era. The pottery collection is especially lovely and there are English information sheets.

Must-see attractions

Parque Nacional Montaña de Celaque

　　Parque Nacional Celaque is one of Honduras’ most impressive national parks and boasts El Cerro de las Minas, the country’s highest peak (2849m), which is covered in lush forest. The park contains the headwaters of several rivers, a majestic waterfall visible from the entire valley, and very steep slopes, including...

Fortaleza Santa Bárbara de Trujillo

　　High above the waves, gazing over the Caribbean toward the European motherland, this 17th-century Spanish fortress could not have a more evocative position. Though its ruined remains are not that impressive visually, it's still an inspirational spot to reflect on the forces and characters that shaped the history of the...

Museo de Escultura

　　Copán is unique in the Maya world for its sculptures and some of the finest examples are on display at this impressive museum, which is fully signed in English. Entering the museum is an experience in itself: you go through the mouth of a serpent and through its entrails before...

Roatán Marine Park

　　Originally set up in 2005 with the aim of protecting the reef system around the West End and Sandy Bay, the Roatán Marine Park now covers the whole island. This nonprofit organization campaigns strongly to conserve the marine environment – Roatán's reefs are under enormous pressure, both from construction and...

　　Jutting out over the bay, this bar is a key evening hangout and one of the main social hubs for backpackers on the island – more for its prime location and late opening hours than for the loud music and crowded, sweaty atmosphere. ...

　　The park’s first trail is still a favorite, with a moderately difficult three-hour hike to Cascada Zacate. You’ll hear the falls before you see them; they're actually also known as Cascada Ruidoso, or ‘noisy falls.’ When the water is high, it thunders through a narrow chasm, throwing up a thick...

　　This magnificent 43m waterfall on the Río Lindo is 17km north of Lago de Yojoa (and also an easy day trip from San Pedro Sula). Surrounded by lush forest, it's a privately run beauty spot where guides will lead you along a fun, challenging path behind the waterfall (L300). There's...

Macaw Mountain Bird Park

　　Around 2.5km outside Copán Ruinas is an extensive private reserve aimed at saving Central American macaws. There are plenty of them here, along with toucans, motmots, parrots, kingfishers and orioles, all flying around in spacious, humanely constructed cages. In the 'Encounter Center' uncaged birds fly onto your shoulders or hands...

Copán Archaeological Site Ruins

　　One of the most important of all Maya civilizations lived, prospered, then mysteriously crumbled around the Copán archaeological ruins, a Unesco World Heritage Site. During the Classic period (AD 250–900), the city at Copán Ruinas culturally dominated the region. The architecture is not as grand as that across the border...

La Casa del Jaguar

　　This is one of Ceiba's more interesting drinking establishments, a curious, enclosed beach bar with a tree-house feel and lots of nooks, crannies and corners to get cozy in. It's famous locally for the owner's homemade liquors – he dubs it (with a wink) 'the only organic bar in Honduras.'...

　　This high-quality lodge makes an excellent base for the Parque Nacional Cerro Azul Meámbar. Comfy rooms are in the lodge, but sturdy double-occupancy cabins with terraces and calming views over the forrest are expected to be completed in 2019. The terrace of the on-site international-style restaurant is lined with hummingbird...

　　A highly sociable and welcoming bar-restaurant with superb sunset views from the rear deck. Draws a good mix of locals, expats and visitors. There’s popular live music on Fridays and some decent talent on karaoke Thursdays. ...
