Honduras - Roatan 


La Ceiba Rainforest and Reefs of Roatan Tour

Nature, Caribbean Beaches and Reef

The Caribbean coast of Honduras is one of the richest regions in popular culture, contemporary history and tropical ecological diversity. It is the region that possess the greatest agricultural and industrial development.
The geography of the region is varied. A mountainous belt extends from west to east, leaving a great coastal plain and extensive valleys drained by large rivers. The climate is hot and humid. There are more than 300 kilometers of beach with smooth white sands providing the magic touch of the Caribbean. There are Garífuna villages which represent the greatest cultural wealth of the region.
The Bay Islands is a collection of three large islands (Roatan, Guanaja, Utila) and over 60 islets and keys starting some 30 miles off the coast of Honduras, in Central America. A tropical paradise, the Honduras Bay Islands has long attracted an eclectic mix of settlers whose descendents make up the spicy cultural soup that flavors the Bay Island experience.
Roatan is the largest, most developed and most frequented of the Bay Islands. Essentially a long, forested ridge rising from the Caribbean, it retains much of the original landscape that the Buccaneers knew in the 17th and 18th Century.
