Approach: nature, hiking
Day 1: Meet with your guide at the lobby of your hotel. Overland transfer with 4x4 vehicle to Buenos Aires, a coffee-growing community in the damping zone of the Cusuco National Park. In Buenos Aires we make a brief stop to taste the locally grown coffee and take a walk in the village followed by a typical Honduran lunch. We then continue through magnificent landscapes until reaching our camp. On the way, the ecological transition from a mixture of tropical broadleafed and pine forest, to the tropical cloudforest. We enjoy a hike through the magnificent surrounding before enjoying a typical dinner. Overnight Cusuco Visitors Center
Day 2 & 3: Days to explore and appreciate the magnificent biodiversity of the cloud forest . With some luck we may spot a variety of wildlife such as toucans, monkeys, tapirs or the resplendent quetzal. Huge tree ferns – of up to 20 meters the highest in all of Central America – are typical for Cusuco and give you the impression of being in a Jurassic park world. From March to May one of the typical early morning sounds of Cusuco Nationao Park is the monotonous call of the resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno), the mystic and holy bird of the Aztecs and Mayas. The charm of Cusuco does not only come from the nature, but also from the quit and harmonic life in the 38 surrounding coffee towns. Overnights Cusuco Visitors Center
Day 4: We will brake camp after our breakast. Our journey continues through a scenic drive to the Lake Yojoa. The region around the Yojoa Lake is rich in different habitat types, it is home or temporal host of a huge ammount of migratory birds. Cerro Azulmeambar works as a retreating area for a lot of species because of increased human activities around the Lake. Toucans, Motmots, Parakeets and Parrots are just a small sample of the species living in Honduras. Overnight Cerro Azul meambar Visitors Center.
Day 5 & 6: Explore the magnificent tropical forest types of the Cerro Azulmeambar National Park. This national park is one of the main protected areas around Lake Yojoa, which is fed by the small rivers of the sorrunding mountains. We will hike to the interchange zone between the tropical rainforest and the tropical cloud forest enjoying impressive views of the lake. Visit Pulhapanzak waterfall, an important ceremonial and cultural site for the early Maya. The fresh clear water invites us for a refeshing bath. Overnights Cerro Azul meambar Visitors Center
