Quite rightly, the reefs are called “the rain forests of the sea,” home to over 4,000 different types of fish and thousands of species of plants and animals. In Honduras, the reefs are pristine, the water is crystalline, the biodiversity and beauty of the flora and fauna unsurpassed. Honduras also hosts 15 national parks, 2 biosphere reserves, and 10 biological reserves. Among the most unexplored and extraordinary national parks is Pico Bonito, located just 3-kilometers from the Caribbean coastal town of La Ceiba. Class V white-water rafting/kayaking on the Cangrejal River and jungle trekking surrounded by primeval jungles and rare fauna, are among the adventure-filled possibilities awaiting the fearless voyager at Pico Bonito National Park. Couple all this with is world-famous archaeological Mayan site Copán near the Guatemala border, no doubt one of the Maya World's most beautiful as well as perhaps the best-preserved and most-studied archaeological sites in the world, and you have it all!!
Honduras has a rich colonial legacy. Its churches, forts and ancient homes are a clear example. Over the past few decades, Honduras has also enforced strict measures to protect its natural resources. Today, these efforts have paid off, with more than 7 million acres of protected land, including 15 national parks, 2 biosphere reserves and 10 biological reserves safeguarding more than 200 bird and 20 mammal species.
Honduras' colonial history dates back to the year 1502 in the port of Trujillo. That's were Christopher Columbus became the first European to reach continental soil, on his last voyage to the New World. The location marks the beginning of a trend that lasted more than 300 years and created a variety of cultural and architectural displays. Places like Comayagua and Tegucigalpa in the center of the country, Omoa and Trujillo in the Caribbean coast, Choluteca in the Pacific and Gracias in the eastern region are some of the best examples. Civil, military and ecclesiastical structures throughout the national territory still stand as silent witnesses of three centuries of Spanish domination. Located in the western region, Gracias, the capital of the department of Lempira, is an important part of Honduras' cultural legacy. It's considered the best-kept colonial city in the country. Gracias is part of the Lenca Route, a tour that visits the Lenca indigenous towns that remain true to their traditions and also boast unique colonial architecture. The Lencas are actually the ancestors of the Mayas. They lived between the year 9,000 and 2,000 B.C, which leads some historians to believe that this culture cemented the true roots of Honduras' society.
