In the central part of Honduras lies the department of Francisco Morazán, a mountainous place with rocky terrain and pine-covered ranges. Unlike other cities in Honduras, Francisco Morazán department does not own many modern facilities. There are less modern establishments and possibly no state-of-the-art infrastructure. This place may not be one of the most visited spots in the region but those looking for a little adventure may book for cheap flights to Morazán and try climbing one of its mountain peaks.
The Tocontin International Airport in Tegucigalpa is the easiest way to reach the place. You can get cheap flights to Morazán from countries with available flights to this airport. From the airport, the cheapest way to reach Morazán is by riding public transport. Rental cars and taxis are also available but this option cost a little bit more. It is not advisable to wander on foot at night especially the ladies. If you’re going to walk around make sure to travel in group and avoid wearing flashy jewelries.
Aside from mountains and pristine landscape, there are not a lot of attractions in Morazán itself but in Tegucigalpa which is the department and the country’s capital, there is a fair share of interesting destinations to choose from. One such destination is the Parque Nacional La Tigra with its breathtaking landscape and challenging hiking trails. The Centro Interactivo de Ensenanza Chiminike which is also located in Tegucigalpa is also an interesting place to bring your kids. This is the first museum for children in Honduras that offers different stimulating activities for the little ones. Other interesting sites in Tegucigalpa are the Museo para la Identidad Nacional, the El Picacho, the Archaeological Museum and the several religious buildings around town.
You would have to stay in Tegucigalpa proper since there no hotels in Morazán itself. Some of the cheapest accommodations in Tegucigalpa are the Caserio Valuzm Real de Minas Guesthouse, Dolphin and MacArthur Hotels. High ranking hotels like Humuya Inn, Aparthotel Guijarros, Hotel Real Intercontinental, Hotel Plaza San Martin, Hotel Plaza del General and Hotel Plaza del Libertador offer better accommodation for travelers who can spend more money in exchange of comfort and convenience.
