La Ceiba is a developing eco-center
La Ceiba is Honduras' third
largest city. With wildlife viewing, whitewater rafting, mountain
hiking and Garifuna (Carib) villages are all within an hour of La Ceiba,
it is quickly developing into a diverse ecocenter.
This is a new direction for
La Ceiba, which historically has been the main export port for Standard
Fruit (Dole brand).
Many Americans
have visited La Ceiba but never seen it. La Ceiba
is the gateway for the small planes that ferry divers
and snorkelers to the Bay Islands, one of the Caribbean
's most famous dive destinations.
For the majority
of those visitors, the Bay Islands are
Honduras since that's all they ever see, no matter how often they
return.
Spending time in
La Ceiba opens up a whole new Honduras, one with far
more to offer than only diving and sunbathing.
The ideal thing
is to blend the two locations together and spend time
in both.
