Discover Honduras, a fascinating Central American country of abundant lakes, lush mountains, and pristine beaches. More than 800 species of birds occur here — including the endemic Honduran Emerald and the stunning Resplendent Quetzal. The country also hosts mammals such as jaguars, monkeys, tapirs, and peccaries. Honduras is perhaps best known for the ruins of Copan, the “Paris of the Mayan world.”
A Honduran birding tour is a natural next step in neotropical birding. Sitting near the middle in terms of species count, it's a great trip for those who have done the introductory countries like Belize and Trinidad.
Naturalist Journeys is pleased to offer Honduras birding tours and Honduras nature tours, as well as other Central American birding tours. Feel free to contact our travel planners with questions.

Saving the Honduran Emerald
The Honduran Emerald is the only endemic bird in Honduras. Primarily an inhabitant of interior, arid, and open-canopy deciduous thorn-forest, this species is listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, primarily due to habitat destruction and fragmentation for plantation agriculture and cattle pastures. Protected sanctuaries and cattle management are key to its continued survival.
