The luxury Lodge at Pico Bonito is set between the country's largest national park and a cacao plantation. Although only 20 minutes from the town of La Ceiba, the lodge has an isolated feel.
Pico Bonito is the name of the national park and the 8,000ft mountain that provides the lodge with an ever- changing backdrop. There are walkways that lead from the main reception area to the cabins which are spread around extremely well-tended gardens. Within the gardens is a swimming pool surrounded by tropical vegetation.
Location
The Lodge at Pico Bonito is a 15-minute drive through pineapple plantations from La Ceiba Airport and 30 minutes from the town of the same name. The flight from San Pedro Sula International Airport to La Ceiba only takes 30 minutes and gives you a good idea of how mountainous Honduras really is.
The Bay Islands are only a short flight away, making Pico Bonito an ideal destination to combine with diving and relaxation on the island of Roatan.
Things to do
The Lodge borders 1,100km2 of national park offering a variety of walks and birdwatching opportunities. The nearby Rio Corinto and Rio Coloradito provide for whitewater rafting or a refreshing dip in crystal clear pools after a long walk.
The Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge is accessed by railcar through a coconut plantation to a lagoon. Here you can take a motor boat or kayak around mangrove swamps in search of white-faced monkeys, parrots, herons and the elusive jaguar. Horseriding and mountain biking are also available. The Lodge also has its own butterfly farm where you can see the striking blue morpho at close quarters.
