Ecotours and whitewater rafting in Honduras, Central America.
Discover the Mosquito Coast of Honduras, the precious ecosystem
of Central America´s rainforest jungle and cloud forest.
 
 
La Moskitia Ecoaventuras' expeditions are in the Moskitia or Mosquito Coast (named after the Mosquito Indians) of Honduras, Central America - a vast area of tropical lowland rainforest in eastern Honduras with no road network, and only accessible by river. We are the only company offering multi-day expeditions into this remote area, the largest Central American reserve of tropical rainforest. We offer whitewater rafting trips, float trips and hiking in the rainforest jungle, marshes, mangroves and cloud forests of the best preserved area in the Central America neotropics.
 
Rapids in the Cangrejal River
 
 
 
 
Our 10 day rafting expedition in the Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve follows the course of the Platano River. Beginning in the river's mountainous headwaters and concluding at its outlet at the Caribbean, we will marvel at the exuberant tropical vegetation and exciting rapids, and enjoy the lazy pleasures of floating through pristine rainforest jungle. Three species of monkeys, river otters, blue morpho butterflies and a multitude of parrots and macaws will be our constant companions, and occasionally we cross paths with a tapir or jaguar.

Bird-watching and customized tours offered tour in La Moskitia

IMPORTANT these itineraries are the main guideline for our tours, however the guide has the right to make adjustments to ensure the utmost security and safety of the clients. Other factors may affect the itinerary, such as sudden changes in water levels while rafting, obstacles in the rivers, the pace of hikers, conditions of the trails, floods and severe foul weather.
 
In all our expeditions we only use dead wood found on the riverbanks to prepare meals. Physiological necessities are taken care in the same way a cat does, with our folding shovel. We sleep in tents and we normally eat a hot cooked breakfast and dinner, while lunches are cold.
 
Where our itinerary takes us to indigenous villages, we often use local lodging, transportation and services. In this way these local communities also benefit from your participation in Honduran eco-tourism.
 
All tours are offered in Spanish and English, and all eco-tours are guided by a knowledgeable naturalist.
