Comayagua, Capital & Cloud Forest
Fly into Palmerola and explore the colonial city, the historic capital, and La Tigra cloud forest.
A short inland itinerary perfect for a quick stopover or as an extension to a business trip. Start with the former capital of Comayagua, spend a day exploring Tegucigalpa's historic center and El Picacho, visit the mountain towns of Santa Lucía and Valle de Ángeles, and finish with a hike in La Tigra National Park. Rely on taxis and private transfers in the capital, staying in the same hotel for three nights.
Trails are drier from December to April; March to June is the best time to spot the resplendent quetzal.
