Itinerary
Welcome to Honduras. With incredible weather year-round, an overflowing natural beauty, and world-class snorkeling and diving adventures, you certainly can’t go wrong when visiting Honduras. After your flight to Honduras, a driver will take you to your hotel in Copan. The ruins are located only one kilometer away along a lovely stone path shaded from the sun. You will find many great restaurants and friendly locals here.
You have an excellent opportunity to visit Copan today. Copan is most noteworthy for its historical sites of the Mayan civilization. Designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, many tourists visit Copan for its temples, plaza, and incredible architecture. Archeologists consider Copan to be “The Paris” of the Mayan World.
Later, we will discover the Macaw Mountain Reserve. Bird lovers will enjoy a trip to this nature reserve. It is a tropical bird reserve that cares for birds from the American tropics that are rescued and endangered. You can stroll through the large flight aviary or relax on the decks and view the birds around you. Finally, you’ll taste a cup of some of the best organic coffee in the world.
Today you will have a half-day tour of the town of Copan. Copan is the cutest town in Honduras in the northwest of the country, and it has an antique Central American vibe with its colorful houses and easygoing atmosphere. As small as it is, it is home to one of the most extraordinary Mayan Cities on the planet, Copan Ruins.
During the city tour, you will visit the Tea and Chocolate Place. This place is unique; it is one of those destinations with a one-of-a-kind sense of place that you must see. First, it is not a coffee shop, restaurant, or tea house, and the site is more of a local interactive museum than anything else. Here you can reconnect with nature, learn about assorted tea brews, and taste exceptional chocolate beverages.
This sustainable small business knows how to get to your heart… over unique chocolate. And tea but primarily chocolate, this location is one of the best-hidden treasures in Honduras, and if you are an eco-friendly traveler like us, you will understand why. The outside terrace provides magnificent views and phenomenal sunsets.
Today, you’ll have an excellent opportunity to experience authentic rural Honduras life at the century-old plantation El Cisne. Set in the astonishing western highlands, this family-owned farm provides an insight into the daily life of a working ranch. You’ll go on a coffee, cacao, and cardamom plantation expedition, learn about cattle ranching, enjoy delicious home-cooked farm meals, and round off your experience with a stop in the natural hot springs.
The farm is in the astonishing western highlands of the country, and it provides an understanding of the daily life of a traditional working ranch. In the morning you will have a tour in the mountains, you’ll go through coffee and cardamom plantations if you’re interested we can do a horseback riding tour.

The hot springs Luna Jaguar are one of the best places to relax in nature. Here you will find natural pool areas and human-made pools in the highlands of Honduras.
In the morning, we’ll drive to Tela, and in the afternoon, you can choose between one of these two experiences:
The first option is a kayak tour to Punta Izopo National Park. Punta Izopo has dense vegetation, two rivers, lovely beaches, and a high diversity of wildlife such as toucans, monkeys, turtles, alligators, and many species of birds.
The canals between the mangroves are reachable only by kayaks, allowing you to go quietly without disturbing nature and come close to the surrounding fauna. You’ll have an eco-tour and adventure in the middle of the jungle, along rivers with mangroves and wildlife, and you’ll visit the town Triunfo de La Cruz, the oldest Garifuna village on the mainland of Honduras.
The second option is to visit the Lancetilla Botanical Garden. It is probably the most extensive botanical garden in Latin America. There are two main areas: a greenhouse with a sample of different tropical species from four continents and a lush forest reserve with endemic trees; these gardens have over 1,200 species of plants and a massive bamboo tunnel.
You’ll walk through the trails to the central garden and the botanical spaces, taking about one hour to walk through the whole circuit. The gardens are a remarkable place for birdwatching, with hundreds of bird species which include migratory and residents.
We will visit a deserted beach during this excursion to Punta Sal (also known as Jeanette Kawas) National Park in Honduras. This preserved tropical and marine area, only reachable by boat, provides a bunch of experiences, such as snorkeling, hiking, wildlife spotting, and sunning on brilliant beaches. See howler monkeys, snorkel in a coral reef, or relax on the delightful Cocalito Beach.
Afterward, we’ll drive to La Ceiba, where you will take a ferry to Roatan Island. The longest barrier reef in the western hemisphere, Honduras Barrier Reef, can be found here, and it is also the second-largest in the world.
