Start the day with a visit to the historic National Art Gallery before heading to Parque La Leona, a beautifully landscaped park. In the evening, visit the city's colorful nightlife scene, including a salsa dancing bar.
Take a tour of the ancient Mayan ruins of Copan, considered to be one of the most elaborate and complete examples of Mayan architecture. In the afternoon, take a stroll in the picturesque town center with local coffee shops, and artisanal markets.
Surrounded by lush forests, Lake Yojoa offers endless opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking and birdwatching. A hike to the Pulhapanzak waterfall will reward you with stunning views and a refreshing swim.

On your last day, spend some time relaxing on the beach before heading back to Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport for your departure flight.
While connecting flights may be needed, many destinations in Honduras can be reached by car in a reasonable amount of time. For longer distances or for getting around in cities, taxis, buses, and rental cars are available. A 4x4 vehicle is advised for heavy rain seasonal times. Total transportation costs for a week is estimated at $600.
If you have more time, consider adding a day trip to the Lago de Yojoa Birding Trail or Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve. If you have less time, consider skipping Tegucigalpa and going directly from the islands to Copan.
Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport (RTB) is located in Roatan, Honduras, approximately a 20-minute drive from the West End. Toncontin International Airport (TGU) is located in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, approximately a 10-minute drive from the city center.
