Honduras' very first national park, La Tigra is one of the most significant natural reserves of the country. Located approximately 32 kilometers (20 miles) from the capital city Tegucigalpa, the park is known for much more than its convenient location from the urban center of Honduras. The park's well-marked trails that vary in difficulty levels are the best way to explore this natural wonder. Being a cloud forest thanks to the tropical climate, oak trees, moss, pine trees and avocado trees have found an ideal thriving ground here. Ceibo, the tree considered sacred by the Mayans, finds home in this park. Birdwatchers can sight the colorful and rare quetzal, as well as mockingbirds and wrens. One of the largest reserves in the country, this ecological marvel preserves Honduras' rich biodiversity.
Tegucigalpa, colloquially reduced to Teguz, presents a rather intriguing urban culture interwoven in the origins of the city. The interesting contrast of the hip neighborhoods Colonias with the inner, traditional zones Barrios, makes Tegucigalpa a riveting city with a lot to explore. Nestled amidst mountains, long winding roads and hilly regions characterize most of the city's landscape. The natural resources have found their haven in La Tigra and Celaque National Parks. Centro Contemporáneo is the city's most developed commercial hub and is marked with hotels and shopping centers. The Plaza Morazan transports one from the 21st Century modern architecture to the 18th Century Baroque Cathedral that soars over the paved pathways. The gastronomical weighing scale is perfectly balanced with street food and gourmet restaurants. Some of the eateries outside the city center, offer the best local cuisine along with stunning views of the valleys. Casinos and nightclubs light up the city streets after sundown.
