Caratasca Lagoon
The massive coastal lagoon system surrounding Puerto Lempira, featuring intricate channels and mangrove islands.
Rio Plátano Biosphere
Dense, untouched tropical rainforest and winding river systems within this world-renowned wildlife sanctuary.
Sierra de Agalta
Rugged mountain ridges that rise sharply from the coastal plains as the flight progresses westward.
Pico Bonito National Park
The towering 2,435-meter peak dominates the skyline as you approach La Ceiba, often shrouded in misty cloud forests.
Rio Cangrejal Valley
The steep, white-water river valley that carves through the mountains just before the final descent into Goloson.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Cordillera Nombre de Dios. Morning flights are highly recommended to see Pico Bonito before the afternoon cloud cover typically sets in. The transition from the flat Mosquitia wetlands to the jagged mountains is a major highlight.
