Cerro Azul Meámbar National Park

Cerro Azul Meámbar is a national park in Comayagua Department with extensive forests located between Lake Yojoa and a hydroelectric dam system. The landscape transitions from lower elevations to forested mountain regions.

Honduras established this national park in 1987 to protect the forests and water sources in the region. The area was chosen because of its natural resources and importance to local people.

The park provides water that local communities depend on for daily life and farming. It plays a central role in how people around the region sustain themselves.

Visitors can stay at Los Pinos Center, which offers basic overnight accommodations with beds and shower facilities. The best time to visit is during drier months when trails are more accessible.

The area is home to more than 100 bird species spread across different elevation zones. Birdwatchers can spot different types depending on which altitude zones they explore.
