Montaña de Santa Bárbara
The Santa Bárbara Mountain National Park (PANAMOSAB) is located in the same department, northwest of Lake Yojoa and 13 kilometers east of Santa Bárbara. With a height of 2,744 meters above sea level, PANAMOSAB is Honduras' second tallest peak after Celaque. Furthermore, it is Central America's biggest limestone hill. It is also the primary source of water for Lake Yojoa; it is foggy most of the year and receives around 3000 mm of rain, making it one of the wettest locations in the nation.
This mountain is a protected natural area with an average of 70 fern species, 90 orchid species, and more than half of the country's bird species. PANAMOSAB is an excellent location for bird viewing. Because the topography of PANAMOSAB is rocky and rich in natural resources, there are several kinds of animals and plants that are peculiar to the area, including multiple species of lizards, several of which are vulnerable or endangered.
