La Muralla National Park Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
About La Muralla National Park
La Muralla joined theHonduras national parkssystem in January 1993. Since then it has not developed any tourism infrastructure and has been underfunded as many of its supposedly "protected" lands continue being illegally exploited. It is a large park, encompassing more than 13,700 hectares of land. The park's biodiversity is one of the reasons it was designated a national park. Botanists have identified more than 850 plant species in the area including several endemic species that were first discovered in the park. Most interesting to casual visitors are the sheer number of orchids in the park with well over 100 identified species. The park may also be an interesting stop forbirdwatcherswho just might catch a sight of the elusive resplendent quetzal.
