The Lodge at Pico
Bonito is a luxury nature resort located on Honduras' Caribbean coast
only 30 minutes from the La Ceiba International Airport and nestled
within the magnificent rainforest of the Pico Bonito National Park.
The backcountry road leading to The Lodge at Pico Bonito passes through
the lush greenery of coffee and cacao plantations before arriving
at the handsome wood and stone main lodge set against the backdrop
of the towering peaks of the Nombre de Dios Mountain Range. Upon arrival,
you begin to feel a sensation of peace and relaxation as you are greeted
with a welcome cocktail by our friendly and efficient staff.
Raised wooden walkways
join the main lodge to the restaurant and conference buildings, each
located with views of the forested slopes of the 8,000 foot Pico Bonito.
In the foreground sits the inviting pool and terrace with its own
bar shaded by an intricately woven palm thatch roof. Nearby, a river
deck overlooks the cascading clear waters of the Río Corinto.
Our restaurant, with
its airy ambience and open views, offers exquisite Meso-American cuisine.
The adjoining bar and terraces provide the perfect place to meet other
guests and share tales of the day's adventures or simply relax with
a book from our library. Fresh fruit juices and a complete bar and
wine list will satisfy the most demanding of tastes. The spacious
conference room, with a capacity for 50 or more people, is used for
special activities and can be reserved by our guests for private meetings.
From the main buildings,
gravel pathways lead through the lush tropical landscape of the grounds
to the secluded guest cabins, tucked within the dense foliage of coffee
and cacao trees. The luxuriously appointed cabins are the perfect
marriage of rustic elegance and all the comforts of home.
Trails run throughout
the 200-acre property and into the adjacent Pico Bonito National Park.
Climb our observation tower for a superb view of the dense rainforest
that surrounds you or for glimpses of the Bay Islands offshore. Our
guides will help you identify many of the more than 325 species of
birds that inhabit the area, including the beautiful turquoise Lovely
Cotinga and the always popular Keeled-billed Toucan. Jaguars, ocelots,
kinkajous, peccaries, and several species of monkey have been sighted.
Trails lead to numerous nearby waterfalls where you can swim in the
crystal mountain waters, home to wild river otters and tayras. The
Lodge at Pico Bonito donates a portion of its cabin charges to La
Fundacion del Parque Nacional Pico Bonito, a not-for-profit organization
that preserves and promotes Pico Bonito National Park.
The Lodge at Pico
Bonito has been designed to offer our guests a wide range of activities
and experiences. A short walk takes you to our Tropical Butterfly
Farm, you can visit nearby tropical farms on mountain bikes, or you
can spend a couple of hours just wandering around our jungle property.

destinations including horseback riding, whitewater rafting, sea kayaking,
touring the ancient Mayan ruins of Copán, and snorkeling amidst
the coral reefs of the Bay Islands.
