Punta Izopo Wildlife Refuge

Punta Izopo Wildlife Refuge, National park and Ramsar site in Tela, Honduras

Punta Izopo Wildlife Refuge is a protected area on Honduras's Caribbean coast that encompasses wetlands, mangrove forests, and coastal ecosystems. The site is crisscrossed by river channels and supports abundant wildlife and plant life.

Punta Izopo was first declared a wildlife refuge in 1992. It became a national park only in 2000, under legislative decree 261-2000, within the municipality of Tela, Atlántida department, on Honduras's northern Caribbean coast.

The park lies in the municipality of Tela, on the Caribbean coast of Atlántida, and is named after Punta Izopo, the headland at its edge. Its status changed from wildlife refuge to national park by legislative decree 261-2000, and it is also listed as a Ramsar wetland site.

Access is from the municipality of Tela, on the Caribbean coast of Atlántida department; the park lies at 15.81417, -87.38306 and reaches 118 metres in altitude. Boat or kayak travel along the water channels is the way to move through the wetlands and mangroves.

The park was first declared a wildlife refuge in 1992 and only became a national park in 2000 under legislative decree 261-2000, so older maps and signs may still carry the refuge name. Its highest point stands at 118 metres above sea level.
