to some sweet singletrack that will take us out to the best swimming
hole ever! Tonight we'll have fresh seafood in Sambo Creek, a Caribbean
Garifuna village.

beautiful rivers in Central America!

ride over the mountains where we will be met by the van once we
emerge from the wilderness. After freshening up at our lodge, we'll
head into La Ceiba for dinner at a beachfront restaurant and afterwards
dance to live Garifuna music at the Africa Club. It's a memorable
experience!
DAY 6: Today we'll head up the
north coast on a dirt track visiting Garifuna villages along the
way. After multiple river crossings we'll end up at a deserted Caribbean
beach!
DAY 7: "The Cayos Cochinos
are one of the most spectacular collections of islands, beach and
reef in the western Caribbean." -Moon Handbooks Honduras. We'll
charter a boat out there today and play around on the reef. It as
good as the best snorkeling anywhere in the world!
DAY 8: Today we'll take a van
to San Pedro Sula where everyone can make their flights home. Anyone
wishing to stay longer may want to head out to the Bay Islands for
world class diving.
Honduras, quite simply, kicks butt! There is a
strong environmental movement in Honduras and more land has been
protected than anywhere in Central America (including Costa Rica).
The mountain biking is as diverse as the terrain. |
