In May we organized a day trip to the National Park "La Tigra". La Tigra is close to the capital of Honduras. Its boundaries are a mere 14km from Tegucigalpa. La Tigra was initially established as a reserve in 1952 and then became Honduras’ very first national park in 1980. The park's boundary covers an area of approximately 23,571 hectares, with parts of La Tigra reaching altitudes of 2270 meters. Prior to the land being declared a protected area under Honduran law, large areas were deforested. The mining company in the area constructed a road through the cloud forest in order to connect Tegucigalpa and La Rosario. They cut down precious primary cloud forest trees for use in the mines. Despite the deforestation, La Tigra National Park still has an abundance of excellent features well worth exploring.
