Lonely Planet review for Parque Nacional Cusuco

Just 45km from San Pedro Sula, but remarkably difficult to access, Parque Nacional Cusuco is a cloud forest nestled in the impressive Merendón mountain range. The park has abundant wildlife, including parrots, toucans and a large population of quetzals, best spotted from April to June. Its highest peak is Cerro Jilinco (2242m). The park’s visitors center is the starting point for five different hiking trails. Two trails – Quetzal and Las Minas – pass waterfalls and swimming holes. Guides can be hired at the visitors center for around L$100 per trip.

    For more than 7 years I have traveled to the merendon mountain range, specifically to Cusuco National Park and i am still in love of this place. A huge variety of activities to choose from including camping, hiking, horseback ridding, birdwatching, caving, rappelling. Tourist and scientist from around the world have visited this unique and exotic destination and I encourage everyone that visits San Pedro Sula to go and fall in love of this place.
