Pico Bonita national park

We were disappointed to have to turn down the opportunity to visit one of central America´s last true wildernesses in La Moskitia, but we decided to visit the Pico Bonita national park close to La ceiba for a taster of the jungle on the Northern Honduran coastline.

We did a day hike followed by a night at the Jungle River Lodge overlooking the river. The hike was great - a couple of refreshing river crossings, lush green jungle, tumbling waterfalls (where we had a very refreshing dip), and yet another magnificent thunder and lightning storm as we played cards by candlelight in the evening. (Thanks to stephanie who taught us a new card game, but which appeared to have no end)
