Tela
Bay - 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.
Enjoy Tela today, before it becomes
a more popular international tourist destination
