Caribbean
The Atlantic coast extends across approximately 700 km of
white sandy beaches and beautiful vegetation with great
potential for tourist development. The Bay Islands are one of
the top Premium diving destinations in the world, with easy
access to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second longest
in the world, and with an impressive diversity of marine life.
Roatan is the best of the Caribbean, with its wonderful coral
reef, crystalline and warm waters in bluish tones, white
beaches and a mountainous topography. Specialized tourism
magazines have chosen it among the best islands in the world
for vacations, especially the paradisiacal West Bay beach,
with fine white sand, turquoise waters and the coral reef just
a few meters offshore.
Guanaja, or Pine Island for its Pinus Caribaea forests, was
discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1502. On one hand,
the island represents tranquility, marine and submarine
beauty, and impressive biodiversity; and on the other, history,
archeology and exquisite Criollo cocoa beans. Plan Grande is
a little known archaeological site, and the cocoa grown on the
island is praised in high-end international chocolate markets.
