  • The Spectacular Bird Diversity of Honduras 12 Night/13 Day Itinerary
    Our Bird Diversity tour combines interior rain and cloud forests, the breezy Caribbean north coast, and along the way; La Muralla National Park, one of Honduras’ best kept, and most bird diverse, secrets. Nearly 90% of Honduras’ 760+ bird species have been recorded along this route and with luck, we hope to see at least half of these. We begin in the rain forests of Lake Yojoa, and Cerro Azul, ascending to the cloud forests of Santa Barbara National Park (including an area known for the country’s endemic Honduran Emerald). From there, we travel to 2,000 meter pine-oak and cloud forests of Opatoro- Guajiquiro Reserve and La Tigra National Park, before heading northwest for the pristine and rarely habitats of La Muralla National Park and finally Pico Bonito National Park, and the breezy Caribbean north coast. Dates We offer this tour to individuals and groups throughout the year, with November to June being the best period for weather and bird activity.
