La Tigra National Park, Honduras’ first national park, is a protected mountainous area of cloud forest located northeast of the capital city, Tegucigalpa. Established as a national park in 1980 to prevent deforestation, it encompasses lush landscapes filled with a diverse array of ferns, moss, and fungi. The park is also a haven for bird enthusiasts, who can spot the vibrant quetzal among other species. Visitors today can explore its dense, misty trails, immersing themselves in the rich biodiversity and serene natural beauty of this preserved ecosystem.
