La Paz

About

Nestled in the stunning mountains of western Honduras sits the magical city of La Paz. As you arrive in La Paz, you are stunned by the natural beauty that surrounds you - lush green hillsides dotted with small farming towns and sweeping vistas of the mountain valleys as far as the eye can see. In the historic center, stop to sample sweet pastries, juicy tropical fruits, and hearty local dishes at the many street stalls. As the afternoon cools, hike up to one of the miradores (lookout points) for bird's-eye views of the city and surrounding countryside. After dusk falls, head to Parque Central where live music often fills the plaza. Sample Honduran-brewed craft beers at one of the lively taprooms or dine on traditional fare like baleadas and sopaposas. On weekends, don't miss the feria artesanal where artisans sell woodcarvings, textiles, ceramics and more.
