It is great to read this review, in 1999 my mother was in charge of the first park of Honduras, that is called Parque Zambrano, located on the right side of the road leading to San Pedro Sula, we had the time of our lives living in Zambrano, it was a treat not just for the eyes, it is a jewel for the heart. I certify even as a Mexican produce made in Honduras that got the fortune to meet Jorge, Caserío Valuz, Zambrano and I just wanted to certify that this wanderful review falls short faced by the beauty, ness and big hearted people depicted in it.

Hi. I really enjoyed your article about Zambrano. I am a native from Honduras living in the USA. I had been to Zambrano a couple of times. The area is beautiful and safe. I will like to mention also other small villages near Tegucigalpa, worth of a day or 2 days trip. They are Ojojona, a peaceful town famous for its pottery and pleasant climate. Santa Lucia and Valle de Angeles are about 30 minutes away from Tegus. They are colonial towns with interesting churches, small restaurants and lots of crafts. Cedros is another interesting colonial town. All them are surrounded by pine forest. Nights maybe chilly in all them. Honduras has a lot of beautiful places, full of history to enjoy. Locals are friendly and helpful.

In reply to Ana. No problem Ana... just like all countries there are some bad cities but that doesn't mean the country lacks in beauty in different areas. If you get the chance you should definitely check out Zambrano, as you can see we loved it :).

Since evything you hear in the news about my country is so negative what you have posted about Zambrano it was very REFRESING and BEAUTYFUL. I am from Honduras but I had never heard about this gorgeous place. Thank you soooo much.

The most “off the beaten path” destination I have ever been to was in the Toledo District of Southern Belize. My friend and I heard about some Mayan villages located in Southern Belize that we wanted to check out. We managed to spend a night in one of the smallest ones – San Antonio (est. population of 200).

It was really interesting to learn more about the indigenous peoples of Central America on this visit. Our visit included playing soccer with the village kids, eating a homemade dinner, watching a traditional Mayan dance, and witnessing one of the most beautiful starry nights we have ever seen in our lives. And to top it off, we were the first tourists they had seen in almost 7 months, which made this experience my own personal Zambrano.

In reply to Jazzy. Wow that's awesome! So cool you went with a place outside of one of the major cities. I hope the reputation will change! I dream of going back all the time to visit my Grandma's village... until then I'm living through your central america posts!! ^_^

In reply to Marty. Thanks for stopping by Marty. Zambrano sure is a magical place and I definitely agree the inn felt very European, as an Austrian I felt right at home there. I am glad you too got to experience the real Honduras and the great hospitality of Jorge. We can't wait to go back as well.

In reply to Francesca @onegrloneworld. Honduras is trying hard to get rid of its negative reputation. In a few years it will be a popular spot on the gringo trail just like Guatemala and Nicaragua are. We randomly found it when looking for an alternative to Tegucigalpa (the capital) and I am sure glad we did :D

Ahh – your wonderful story took me back to May of this year when my husband and I stayed at Caserio de Valuz. Waking up to birds singing and the sound of a herd of cows passing by on the road and cool breezes coming through the window reminded me of Switzerland. In fact the inn’s style and it’s location are very alpine. A young guy on bicycle delivered fresh made tortillas which we enjoyed with a full breakfast complete with delicious local cheese,fresh squeezed orange juice and rich Honduran coffee. Jorge’s interesting conversation and a walk around his beautiful garden made it hard to leave. Can’t wait to return!
