Jardín Botánico

Western Honduras


The city's botanical garden is at the southern end of town, five blocks south of the old Mercado Municipal, and takes up half a city block. Local flora can be admired all year long from a paved path that meanders through the park.

Enter through the Museo Casa Galeano (you'll need to buy a L30 museum ticket) or through the cafe on the gardens, where you'll be let in if you buy something.
