It is set amongst a beautiful expanse of vegetation and wetlands, and although the settlement may be a little difficult to view, the nature walks are serene, and bird- life plentiful.

The Caves at Taulabe

20 km south of Lago Yojoa is the Caves of Taulabe. The first 400 meters of the cave have been pathed with lights and steps, but exploration has gone as far as 12 km, still without the cave coming to an end. If you venture in keep a look out for the many stalactites and the bats who have made homes in all the darkest nooks.
