Islands
Roatán, Bay Islands
Roatán, Bay Islands, they say the Caribbean kept a secret for many years. Colors in a rich and biodiverse reef, a landscape with turquoise blue horizon and mountains covered with tropical forest would be the signs on the map that lead to this natural Honduran treasure. Its islets and keys are the Caribbean's way of explaining paradise. The definite sign that you have arrived is that you walk by its waters seeing your footprints in the bottom of fine sand, almost ivory colored. Now, a million people a year find that map and follow it in direct planes, cruises and ferries, to find a treasure that does not fit in a coffer.

Guanaja, Bay Islands
Guanaja, Bay Islands, tranquility, marine and submarine beauty, adventure and pirate ships are five of the ingredients of this "Island of the Pines" that will linger in your palate like the ceviche, lobster or coconut “tapado” (soup) that you can enjoy while the Caribbean waves a few meters away. Its coast, a hideout for Spanish and English pirates and sown with shipwrecks, offers great adventures. The way in which Guanaja integrates into the 700 km coral reef of the Mesoamerican Reef, enlivens a different spot for expert divers or beginners, at short or great depths. Here you can dive or snorkel immersed in colors and surrounded by hundreds of fishes and perhaps dolphins.

Amapala, Valle
Amapala, Valle, if you take a panga at the Coyolito jetty, you will arrive in 15 minutes to the only Central American island that has been a capital (for the assumption of Marco Aurelio Soto in 1876), pirate Drake’s fortress in the sixteenth century and the main Honduran port of the Pacific until the early nineteenth century. Amapala welcomes you with a reconstructed pier and part of the historic center restored by Andalusian cooperators. You can take a full tour around it following a street that also takes you to its communities and beaches, or reach the top of the hill in about 3 hours. At the end of the day, the sunsets in the gulf regale the senses and marvel with the same intensity of their reds and oranges, relieving the blues worn by the day, as they sink into the sea so the night emerges. No matter how many times you've seen it, the sunset from Amapala and in it, from Playa Grande, is one of those memories that you want to refresh live.
