National Park Pico Bonito
Unquestionably one of the most diverse parks in Honduras, Pico Bonito covers an extension of land that goes from sea level to as high as 7,500ft, and in effect boasts the largest change of altitude in Honduras. Named after the mountain that lies just south of La Ceiba, Pico Bonito has become a landmark for La Ceiba, and is will without doubt play an important role in making of La Ceiba an important eco tourism destination in the years to come. Although access to the park is quite limited, it is possible to visit some of the lower parts of the park. You will find many refreshing and inviting swimming holes. A variety of tropical birds, including the keel-billed toucan are easily seen along the trail. With luck, white-faced monkeys might also be seen.
Eco Tours
Zipline Canopy Tour
A new attraction in La Ceiba is located at the Jungle River Lodge, on the banks of the Cangrejal River, only 7 km on a scenic dirt road from the Saopin Bridge over the Cangrejal River. Know as the Highline Zipline Canopy Tour, this attraction is the first of its kind on Honduras' north coast. Canopy tours where originally created to observe the rainforest from a different angle, looking at the life that thrives on the canopy of the tropical jungles. This new form of tourism experience allowing you the thrilling adventure of gliding through the tree tops in a dense jungle and getting a "bird's eye" perspective of life in the tropical rain forest. Today Canopy tours are more an adrenalin filled adventure for tourists that a scientific experience and they are getting more and more popular worldwide. The tour starts at the Jungle River Lodge, and takes you across the river and into the forest of Pico Bonito National Park. After a short hike you will be back up on the first platform ready to experience the Canopy Tour concept. Without doubt it will be a fun experience.
River Rafting
Some of the best white water rafting in Central America is to be found right here in La Ceiba. The Cangrejal river offers class II, III and IV rapids. In addition to the exciting rapids, the Pico Bonito national park, which features more than 7 different ecosystems because of its changing altitudes, has its eastern border with the river, offering you an insight to the ever so lush green forests of Honduras. The tours are guided by expert river rafters with years of experience.

Cacao Lagoon
Located approximately 24 km east of La Ceiba, this small Oceanside lagoon is totally surrounded by mangrove forests, where a variety of tropical aquatic birds can be seen. I addition, there are 8 troops of monkeys that inhabit the area, of which some are howler monkey and the others are white face monkeys.
The trip into the area is interesting, as the village makes a living from its cacao and sugar cane plantations. Cacao, a rare tropical fruit native to America was used in pre-Columbian times as money, due to the great value that the native Indians gave to it. Today, it is the main ingredient in the manufacturing of chocolate. Within the town you will have the opportunity to see the Cacao bushes, as well as the sugar cane plantations and without doubt, the old, and still in use ox driven sugar mill will fascinate you.
After the hike through the village, we will proceed to a small canal, where you will embark yourself on a small handmade dugout canoe for a trip through the mangrove canals into the lagoon. The ride will allow you sneak up on a variety of birds and your chances of seeing some of the monkeys in the area are excellent.
