Brief Description
La Ceiba is the third largest city in Honduras, and is probably the country's most vibrant. A relatively young city, it got its name from a huge Ceiba tree that was next to the beach and provided shade to the workers at the dock and locals during the afternoon.

It is the capital of the department of Atlantida, one of the 18 departments of Honduras. La Ceiba has long been the operation hub of the Standard Fruit Company, producers of bananas, pineapples, grapefruits and many other agricultural goods that Honduras exports. Although La Ceiba is not their port for major shipping activities, it is their administrative hub. The main port for their exports is Puerto Castilla, opposite of Trujillo in the beautiful Bay of Trujillo, 100 miles east of La Ceiba.

La Ceiba is a lot more than a port city with lots of hospitality and charm. It has the potential to develop into the Ecotourism Capital in Central America. Its proximity to the Pico Bonito National Park, Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge, Cayos Cochinos Marine Reserve are but a few of the many nature attractions available at just a short distance from the city. In addition, infrastructure to host tourists is slowly, but surely on the upswing.

Just recently, The Palma Real Beach Resort opened its doors with 160 rooms and suites at the village of Roma, 20 km east of the City. Offering outstanding installations, spectacular views of Cayos Cochinos and access to all of the attractions in the city, this is by far the best beach hotel in the country offering the first all inclusive program in Honduras. In addition, the new Pico Bonito Lodge is the first true Eco lodge in the country and offers an outstanding experience for the nature lover.

The city itself is pretty easy to get around in. There are two parallel main avenues that run perpendicular to the coast line: The Avenida San Isidro and the 14 de Julio. Most streets are numbered, with first street being the one running adjacent to the coast. The zona viva, where most of the restaurants and night life is to be found is on this street. The central park is a pleasant shaded area with many of the hotels and restaurants nearby, and is only a few blocks from 1a Calle on the beach. Most banks are located either on the main square or on the Avenida San Isidro

Party time in the clubs, lots of young people. Rainforest adventures with whitewater rafting & zip-line canopy tours were great. Beaches are average, want great beaches go the the Bay Islands. Stay overnight in La Ceiba on our way to the Bay Islands of Roatan & Utila. Fun place.
