Cuevas de Taulabé
A limestone cave beside Highway CA-5, with a lit walkway leading into stalactites and stalagmites.
The Cuevas de Taulabé lie along Highway CA-5 about 20 km south of Lake Yojoa. They are the most accessible caves in Honduras, with more than 12 km explored so far. The first section open to visitors has stone steps and lighting that show off stalactites, stalagmites and flowstone in a range of shapes. The cave is damp and the steps are slippery, so sturdy non-slip shoes are recommended. Local guides can take you farther into the cave for an extra tip. Entry costs about US$2 to 3, and a visit takes about an hour. It makes a convenient stop on the way between the lake and Tegucigalpa or Comayagua.
