Which side of the plane to sit from Toncontín International Airport (Tegucigalpa) to Goloson International Airport (La Ceiba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Nombre de Dios mountain range, specifically the iconic Pico Bonito, as you descend into La Ceiba's coastal plain.
La Tigra National Park
Lush cloud forest canopies immediately visible after departure from the highland capital.
Pico Bonito
The star feature of the route; a massive 2,435-meter peak that dominates the approach into La Ceiba.
Cangrejal River
A winding white-water river that carves a dramatic path through the jungle toward the sea.
Bay Islands Glimpse
The distant outlines of Utila and Roatán emerging over the Caribbean Sea horizon during descent.
Sit on the right for the most dramatic approach into Goloson Airport. Early morning flights are highly recommended as clouds often gather around the peaks of Pico Bonito by midday.
Tegucigalpa Cityscape
A striking view of the capital city's dense urban sprawl as you climb out of the mountainous basin.
Montaña de Comayagua
Rugged mountain terrain and deep valleys of the central highland national park.
Lake Yojoa
On clear days, the shimmering blue waters of the country's largest natural lake are visible in the distance.
Caribbean Horizon
The first glimpse of the turquoise coastline and the western beaches of Atlántida.
Morning flights are best to avoid the glare of the western sun. Look out for the distinct transition from high-altitude pine forests to tropical lowland vegetation.
