Things to do in The Moskitia & Eastern Honduras

  1. La Ruta Moskitia

    One of the most popular operators, sort of ‘tour-lite’: you don’t travel with a dedicated guide, but transportation is prearranged and you are told who to ask for in each town. Every penny goes to the guides, guesthouse owners and boatmen you use, but traveling with this company also means other independent hotel operators, boatmen and restaurants receive fewer visitors.

    German owned and operated, offering highly recommended multi-day rafting trips down the Plátano and Patuca rivers. It’s located along the Río Cangrejal on the way to the town of Yaruca.

  3. La Moskitia Ecoaventuras

    Run by Jorge Salverri, an expert birder and one of the most knowledgeable guides to La Moskitia. Tours range from five to 12 days and are cheap, though sometimes rough around the edges. Call ahead.
