La Mosquitia

Vast La Mosquitia or the Mosquito Coast encompasses the entire north-east coast of Honduras. Endless stretches of uninhabited terrain hold tropical rainforest, marshlands and flat savannah.

Although some of the area is virtually unexplored, it is not as impenetrable as it may seem. Most travelers set their sites on the Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve which contains some of Central America's best rainforest and a number of Pech, Garifúna and Miskito villages.
