  Pico Bonito is a National Park situated on the North Coast of Honduras and it is one of the largest national parks in the country. A majority of the park has been left in its natural condition as the rough terrain of the park makes exploring a majority of the area difficult. The only hotel in the National Park is the Lodge at Pico Bonito.
