Pico Bonito Lodge

An utterly relaxed and gorgeous wilderness eco-lodge with plush accommodation in spacious cabins, Pico Bonito Lodge is set in tropical gardens with a landscaped pool and a myriad of adventures in store. Whether you are trekking through the rainforest, white-water rafting, bird-watching or visiting Mayan ruins, the experiences you will encounter are totally connected to the local life around you.

Set against a mountain backdrop, Pico Bonito Lodge is in a fantasy setting surrounded by the most extraordinary wildlife that includes over 400 bird species, exotic animals such as kinkajous, peccaries, coatis, tyras as well as monkeys and jaguars. The extremely comfortable cabins are built in stone and native pine and are scattered among old cacao groves.

Visit the resident butterfly farm that breeds over 40 species of tropical butterflies. Follow one of the many trails through the jungle and view the canopy from a four-storey observation deck. Discover the waterfalls at the bottom of sheer canyons and return to Pico Bonito Lodge for a gourmet meal with a local twist at the open-air restaurant.

The Lodge at Pico Bonito is a luxury eco-resort hotel with 22 cabins each with its own private veranda and appointed with indigenous soft furnishings, pottery, and artwork. Mesoamerican cuisine is prepared by a skilled local chef who sources many ingredients from the hotel grounds. Escorted by the lodge's trained guides, you can enjoy exploring a pristine rainforest by foot or on horseback, bathing beneath cascading waterfalls, discovering a host of fascinating wildlife and rafting class IV rapids. Further afield are the coral reefs of the Bay Islands and the Mayan ruins of Copan. The activities seem boundless.
