Parque Nacional Pico Bonito in Honduras offers an immersive nature experience, best accessed by vehicle to various entry points, with some remote areas potentially requiring a 4x4. While some well-marked trails near lodges can be explored solo, guided visits are highly recommended for deeper excursions, wildlife spotting, river activities like white-water rafting on the Cangrejal River, and for safety on more challenging routes. The dry season (December-April) is generally ideal for hiking, while the rainy season (May-November) can make trails muddy and rivers higher. Expect an approximate entrance fee of $10-15 USD for foreigners, with guided tours costing anywhere from $50-150+ USD depending on the activity and duration. A typical visit can range from a half-day hike to a 2-3 day stay to fully appreciate its rich biodiversity, including jaguars, monkeys, and numerous bird species. Bring sturdy hiking shoes, insect repellent, and plenty of water.
