| Punta Izopo National Park |
 L ocated on the eastern end of the bay of Tela, only 12 km from town, this unique area takes its name from the small mountain that dominates the area and
comes out into the Caribbean: Izopo Mountain. The exuberant vegetation of the area. which is irrigated by the Platano and Hicaque rivers, is home to large variety of wildlife, including
tropical birds such as parrots and toucans, monkeys, alligators and turtles. The canals, formed within the mangrove forests are accessible to sea kayaks, which permit you to silently enter
the area without disturbing the natural beauty, and come close to the birds and other wildlife. This tour also includes the opportunity of visiting the Garifuna town of Triunfo de la Cruz, where the Spanish Conquistador, Cristobal de Olid first
disembarked on his quest to conquer Honduras, following orders of Hernan Cortes. |
