Tegucigalpa Basin
Aerial view of the capital city's dense urban layout nestled within high mountain ridges immediately after takeoff.
Palmerola Valley
The wide, flat expanse of the Comayagua Valley, home to the Palmerola International Airport and military base.
Lake Yojoa
The highlight of the trip; a massive volcanic lake surrounded by lush green mountains and misty clouds.
Santa Bárbara National Park
The limestone massif of Montaña de Santa Bárbara, one of the highest peaks in the country.
Ulúa River
The winding path of the Ulúa River as it begins to widen and enter the alluvial plains of the north.
Book a window seat in the front or middle to avoid wing obstruction. For the best clarity of Lake Yojoa, choose a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to avoid the typical afternoon cloud buildup that often obscures the lake and surrounding cloud forests.

La Tigra National Park
The deep green canopy of the first national park in Honduras, known for its high-altitude cloud forest.
Central Highlands
Continuous views of the rugged, pine-covered mountain ranges of central Honduras.
Sula Valley Plantations
Vast, geometric patterns of banana and African palm plantations as the plane descends into San Pedro Sula.
Industrial Corridor
View of the manufacturing hubs and 'Maquilas' that define the economic landscape of the Sula Valley.
The right side offers excellent views of the Sula Valley's agricultural complexity during the final approach. If flying in the late afternoon, the right side will be shielded from the direct glare of the setting sun, making photography of the mountains easier.
