Steamy San Pedro Sula [1] is the business capital of Honduras [2], and a common point of arrival for international visitors, who can avail themselves of the high-quality food [3], nightlife [4], and accommodations [5] before heading into the Honduran countryside. Lago de Yojoa [6], the country’s largest natural lake, the 43-meter-high Pulhapanzak Falls [7], and Parque Nacional Cusuco [8] are popular natural attractions just a short distance from San Pedro (locals often drop the “Sula” when referring to the city).
Birders won’t want to miss Parque Nacional Santa Bárbara [9], on the western edge of the lake, with its unique eco-system and hundreds of species of birds. Parque Nacional Cerro Azul/Meámbar [10] borders the eastern edge and has well-marked trails and comfortable cabins for an easy weekend of hiking.
The paved highway between San Pedro and Tegucigalpa [11] brings travelers to the colonial gem of Comayagua [12], while back roads lead through the coffee towns of Marcala [13] and Trinidad.
