Lago de Yojoa

kayakingLago de Yojoa is a large natural lake, 17 km long and 9 km wide. The Hotel Agua Azul is a resort on the lake with cabins and a restaurant. There are docks with boats and kayaks and lots of birds. I went kayaking and hiking. I went to Catarata de Pulhapanzak, a 43 metre high cascade--well worth seeing.

my new hatGetting There--I took a tourist bus from Tegucipalpa to La Palma and a local bus to the hotel on Lago de Yojoa.

Lodging--The Hotel Agua Azul is worth staying at for at least a couple of nights. The cabins have just the right amount of funk. The food is good. The views and birds are great.

  1. John, suggest you fly (or take a bus) to Tegucigalpa, the capitol. From there, it is relatively easy to get to Lago de Yojoa. Take the bus (or rental car) to San Pedro Sula and get off early. I didn't use a tour guide; just did it. I'd suggest going to the hotel and staying a few days. I bet they can take care of you. If you don't like it, they can tell you what else is available. I didn't fish, but everyday I saw fishermen taking large bass from the lake. There are boats available at Hotel Agua Azul. I think a float tube and a 7 weight would be the way to go.
