Museum of Butterflies & Insects
This one-room museum houses an amazing collection of 13,000 butterflies, moths and other insects, stuck with pins and preserved in glass cases on the walls. Almost 10,000 of these are native to Honduras, including the world's largest moth (with a 30cm/11.8in wingspan), the most iridescent butterfly, and the one with the longest proboscis. The rest include the world's largest scorpion and heaviest insect - a quarter-pounder beetle (no cheese!).

Refugio de Vida Silvestre Cuero y Salado
This wildlife refuge takes its name from two of three rivers: Cuero and Salado, which meet at the coast in a large estuary, creating waterways, mangrove forests and lagoons along the way, and San Juan. A reserve since 1987, it protects varied and abundant wildlife; manatees are the most famous and most elusive, but there are also (among others) howler and white-faced monkeys, sloths, otters, iguanas, caimans and 196 species of birds.
