Tela

A Caribbean paradise where the lush tropical mountains and botanical gardens are the background for the village of Tela which is surrounded by many of the best preserved easily accessible North Coast Ocean and Jungle River Parks. All this is bordered with over 20 miles of the widest, most beautiful white sand beaches in Honduras being kissed by the warm, blue Caribbean Sea.

Tela is located within the department of Atlantida, of which La Ceiba, located 100 km. east is the capital. Tela has become famous for its beaches, however, there is much more to Tela than beaches. The home base for the Tela Railroad Company for many years, owners and producers of the famed Chiquita bananas, Tela retains the air of a true banana town.

The Villas Telamar hotel complex was actually the living quarters to many the executives of the banana company. The Lancetilla Gardens is but one of the many assets left behind by the company that has since moved its quarters to La Lima, just outside of San Pedro Sula.

Tela offers the natural beauty of its beaches, its exhuberant tropical vegetation in three distinct areas: Lancetilla Gardens, Punta Sal National Park and Punta Izopo Wildlife Refuge, as well as the cultural experience of the Garifuna Culture. Tela is well worth your time on your vacation in Honduras. Best of all, it is still unspoiled.
