Cangrejal
White Water Rafting
Where in the world can you enjoy world class
III and IV rafting less than 30 minutes after you left your
hotel? In La Ceiba, of course! Our 4 hour tour includes over
3 hours on the water, lunch, and all the excitement you can
take. The scenic river is bordered by the Pico Bonito National
Park, which houses both tropical rain forest and cloud forest
habitats, depending on the altitude. The normally clear waters
of the river are refreshingly cool (not cold) and ideal for
white water rafting. Our expert, bilingual guides will make
this a day to remember!

Cuero
y Salado Wildlife Refuge
Located only 18 miles west of La Ceiba, this
wildlife refuge is specifically dedicated to the preservation
of the habitat for the endangered manatee, and is located
in the area between the Cuero and the Salado rivers, hence
the name of the reserve. Access to the reserve is via a "burra"
or hand powered railroad ftatcar along the tracks of an old
banana train of the Standard Fruit Co. Once within the reserve,
we will take a boat tour, where with luck we will see different
species monkeys as well as a variety of seabirds. The duration
of the tour is between 6 and 8 hours and the best times to
see wildlife is early in the morning.
