Bahia de Omoa

Omoa is one of the oldest towns in Honduras that played an important role in the history of Honduras, especially during colonial times. This area of the country is of stunning beauty thanks to the impressive Merendon mountain range backbone to this part of the cost. Visit the massive fortress of San Fernando de Omoa, national monument, built by Spaniards centuries ago to protect the coast and shipments of silver bound from mines of Tegucigalpa to Spain from the continuous attacks of British pirates. A mute testimony of Honduras's colonial past, the fort's green gardens, humid rooms and massive walls will make fantasies turn to a time in the past, when pirates still roamed the Caribbean Sea. There are also very pleasant waterfalls nearby. In addition to their natural beauty, they have some very pleasant refeshing swimming holes.
