The adventurous among you should wake up early and head out before breakfast for a hike through the Merendon hills (the hills to the north are the closest), only a 15-minute drive away from the hotel. These verdant slopes offer a quick immersion into the region's rich ecosystem and an impressive view back into the city, especially when the first fingers of dawn begin to spread. After such a hike, a good, healthy breakfast is in order, you can give a try to our famous (local-style burritos) at Baleadas Express on Avenida Circunvalacion. Later you can go to Zizima Water Park to refresh yourself and enjoy the different attractions this park possess. If you are hungry you can have lunch at Bambu, InterContinental restaurant, this delicious dishes will delight you.
Start your afternoon with an insight into our rich history by visiting the Museum of Anthropology and History. A few streets away to the south are the city's green lungs: Central Park. Here you'll see locals selling an array of merchandise or putting on improvised performances for a small donation. Nearby is the Municipal Palace and the city's most distinctive landmark, our unmistakable cathedral. You're now in the oldest part of the city, founded in 1536 by Pedro de Alvarado. You'll soon notice its distinctive Spanish roots. Later, hop in a taxi and head to Pastor Fasquelle Nature Museum, where you can discover more about the national parks we have, our fauna and flora. Later, you can head to the Guamilito Market where all kinds of arts and crafts are laid out for you. Follow your nose to the delectable fresh taco stalls for a great snack.
After such a busy day you deserve a real treat. So round it off in style by choosing from the diverse array of international cuisine the city has to offer. If I may make a suggestion: visit the Centro Social Hondureño Arabe, an exclusive club for the city's well-to-do that has its own sushi bar, lounge bar and restaurant Gourmet Mediterraneo, offering sumptuous gourmet food in a refined setting. Have a nice and enjoyable time watching a play at the Saybe theater and called it a day.
