Pico Bonito Lodge
Pico Bonito National Park The grand wood and stone lodge is connected by raised wooden walkways that connect to the restaurant and conference buildings. An inviting pool with a terrace and bar looks up at the forested slopes of the highest peak in Honduras. One of the most popular spots to watch birds is from a river deck overlooking the cascading river of Rio Corinto. Tropical plants lead the way on gravel paths to the private duplex cabins, each with their own private porches, ceiling fans, and shuttered windows, blending rustic refinement at its best. The Pico Bonito Lodge also makes a good base for exploring the other attractions in the area. Aside from the butterfly farm located at the hotel, make sure to visit the Cuero y Salado Wildlife and Manatee Refuge, kayak and raft the Cangrejal River, tour the ancient ruins of Copan, take an excursion to the Bay of Islands for scuba diving or sailing, and visit Lancetilla, the largest botanical garden in the world where trails lead to some of the best bird watching. All of these excursions can be arranged at the hotel. Transfers to the Pico Bonito Lodge will be provided from the La Ceiba International Airport. Prices vary due to season from $95 to $125 based on double occupancy. Optional meal plans are offered. As visitors drive into the entrance off a dirt road (4WD in rainy season is important), they are greeted by a collection of farm animals including goats, sheep, deer, turkeys, ducks and geese. The new cabanas, rebuilt after Hurricane Mitch destroyed the entire farm, are modest and clean with red tile floors. A porch with table and chairs overlooks the beach in the front and a rich rainforest behind. Campamento also offers camping and horseback riding, and there is a boat available for small tours around the area. Arturo and Orleis can also provide guides to the various National Parks and the Lagoon. Besides having strength and courage, a love for animals, and an eye for beauty and gardening, Orleis is a great cook. Campamento has a large outside restaurant and bar covered with a thatched roof, where she serves typical Honduran food as well as all kinds of seafood dishes. And at $40 per night for a cabana on a quiet, beautiful beach, Honduras doesn’t get better than this.
