Honduras is a mountainous country located in Central America. La Ceiba, a port city of 200,000 people on the north coast, is known as the Honduran Capital of Hospitality.  

Country Map

La Ceiba has an international airport, miles and miles of sandy beaches, crystal clear rivers,  majestic waterfalls, a tropical rainforest  and white-water river rafting. The 8000 majestic peak on the southwest side of the city has challenged adventurous mountain climbers and inspired local artists and poets. But what is really exciting about Little Ceiba the Beautiful is the festive spirit that it exudes all year around.

 

Directions to the museum

The Butterfly and Insect Museum is located on the south (mountain) side of the city, only 4 blocks from the Quinta Hotel and the D'Antoni Golf Club and about 12 blocks from Central Park. This would be about a 35 minute walk from downtown La Ceiba or a 5 minute taxi ride. When leaving, you can catch a taxi right in front of the museum. As of September 2005 the taxi ride from downtown is about $0.80 or L15.00 per person.

There is a butterfly sign in front of the museum. The entrance is on the right-hand side which takes you to the back patio where the 1000 sq ft air-conditioned building is located.
