Day 1 Transfer from San Pedro Sula to Tela. En route we visit the Lancetilla Botanical Garden. The gardens were founded over 70 years ago as an experimental botanical site by the United Fruit Company. Here you will find hardwood, medicinal and ornamental plants as well as tropical fruit trees from all over the world. You will see how the bamboo forest absorbs some 90% of the daylight, admire the long rows of majestic Royal Palms or try exotic fruits fresh from the tree. An Orchid Garden and a Natural Reserve with it's beautiful 1,200-hectare virgin tropical rainforest with 240 species of birds are also part of the Park. We then proceed to our hotel located right on the beach. Overnight in Tela/Tornabé.

Day 2 In the early morning leave by boat to explore the impressive rock formations of Punta Sal. Visit the sheltered little bays, well hidden among the rocks, with palm-fringed beaches and blue lagoons. There you will enjoy a tropical picnic, listening to the Howler Monkeys living in the forest behind the natural beaches. Swim and snorkel in the crystal clear water exploring the interesting marine life as the world's second largest Coral Reef comes close to shore at Punta Sal. Free time to relax on the white, sandy beach in front of your hotel. Overnight in Tela/Tornabé.

Day 3 Leisure time during the morning. We will then visit the community of Triunfo de la Cruz to enjoy extensive beaches and the atmosphere of the Garífuna communities in Honduras. Return to San Pedro Sula in the late afternoon.
