La Tigra National Park
La Tigra National Park (Parque Nacional La Tigra), about 20 kilometers from Tegucigalpa, is one of the most beautiful sites to visit in Honduras. This pristine park, perched at an elevation of 2,270 meters, protects a rich cloud forest that is home to ocelots, pumas, and monkeys, though sightings of these larger species are uncommon.
This is one of Honduras' most visited parks, and it provides a glimpse of how the area appeared before logging claimed much of the surrounding forests. La Tigra National Par is also a haven for birds, with over 200 species passing through, including toucans, trogons, and the elusive quetzal. Hiking pathways wind through the dense forest, where bromeliads and orchids thrive.
Visit the La Tigra National Park's visitor's center at each entry for maps and park information, as well as to pay the admission cost. Guides can also be scheduled through this office.
