La Tigra National Park, Mountainous national park in Francisco Morazán Department, Honduras.
The cloud forest of La Tigra National Park spans 238 square kilometers at elevations between 1,800 and 2,185 meters above sea level.
La Tigra began as a reserve in 1952 and transformed into the first national park of Honduras in 1980, following years of deforestation from mining activities.
The park contains ancient ceibo trees, traditionally regarded as sacred by Mayan civilizations, alongside extensive networks of preserved community hiking paths.
Two visitor centers, located in Jutiapa and El Rosario, provide access to eight different hiking trails that extend more than 23 kilometers through the park.
The forest supplies over 30 percent of the water needs for Tegucigalpa while supporting 200 bird species, including the highland-dwelling quetzal.
