    • About 20-30 minutes outside of Tela is the Esperanza River set amongst a beautiful backdrop of lush forest. The river is pure mountain water and serves as a reservoir for villages along its path. I have been here a couple of times to swim in the river and think it is one of the most beautiful and natural places I have seen in Honduras.

    • Lancetilla is located on the outskirts of Tela. It is one of the largest botanical gardens in the world. There is a small charge for entry into the gardens and you should go there by car or bike. There are fruit trees and a river that runs through it. The locals come here mostly to swim in the river.

    • Triunfo de la Cruz is located in the part of Tela beach known as La Ensenada. It is a small garifuna settlement. It makes a nice day trip from Tela either walking along the beach or by car along the highway travelling east. There are many garifuna restaurants with fish or sopa de caracol being the specialty.

    Off The Beaten Path: SAN ALEJO

    • Before reaching Tela by bus you will pass through an area of African palm trees. When I see these I feel the excitement of returning home! San Alejo is the area around these palm trees. There is a large manteca factory which provides employment for the majority of people living in San Alejo. Manteca is the vegetable oil used in cooking.
    I had a friend who worked at the American School in San Alejo which was quite cool. She was provided with her own house and membership to the San Alejo club which has a really nice swimming pool!
