Has Honduras a Zoo?

El Picacho Zoo is located at the United Nations Park, which is also home to the Cristo del Picacho which can be seen looking over the city from most areas. The very basic zoo is home to a wide range of birds, mammals and reptiles.

Additionally over the past few years a few butterfly exhibits have opened in Honduras. One is located in Copan, another at the Pico Bonito Lodge near La Ceiba and another in West End on Roatan.

A better option to experience Honduran wildlife is to take a guided nature tour in one of Honduras many national parks, where you will be able to learn about and experience the countries unique and diverse nature. The best spots to visit being Punta Sal National Park near Tela, Pico Bonito National Park and Cuero y Salado Reserve near La Ceiba and La Tigra National Park near Tegucigalpa.
