Cerro Las Minas, Mountain summit in Lempira Department, Honduras.

Cerro Las Minas rises to 2,870 meters above sea level within Celaque National Park, featuring steep slopes and dense cloud forest vegetation throughout its terrain.

The establishment of Celaque National Park in 1987 marked a significant step in protecting Cerro Las Minas and its surrounding 266 square kilometers of natural territory.

Local indigenous communities maintain traditional practices in the areas surrounding Cerro Las Minas, considering the mountain a source of spiritual connection and natural resources.

Visitors need to arrange transportation to Gracias town before taking local vehicles to the park entrance, where guides can assist with the challenging mountain ascent.

The mountain serves as a water tower for 120 surrounding villages, with its name Celaque translating to 'box of water' in recognition of this vital function.
