Ziplining in Parque Nacional Pico Bonito, Rio Cangrejal, Honduras

Honduras has been one hell of a roller coaster ride for me. After the madness of diving in Utila, surviving the world’s most dangerous city San Pedro Sula and exploring ruins and birds in Copan, it was time to actually chill out in the awesome national parks at Rio Cangejal. Or was it? What was going to Read more about Ziplining in Parque Nacional Pico Bonito, Rio Cangrejal, Honduras[…]

Relax in Nature: Staying at La Villa De Soledad in Rio Cangrejal, Honduras

Travelling in Central America continued to surprise. After a crazy week of diving off the coast of Utila (booked through Utila Dive school and stayed in the Mango Inn), we got the boat (catamaran) back to mainland Honduras.

Hotel with a View: Staying at Hotel Linda Vista in Tegucigalpa, Honduras

For some reason, the Honduran capital city of Tegucigalpa doesn’t rank highly with backpackers. Most of whom, pass through its elevated streets faster than Ben Johnson on speed.
