Lake Yojoa (Lago de Yojoa) is the largest natural lake in Honduras with a surface area of 79 km² (30.49 mi²) and an elevation of 700 m (2,297 ft).
Camping, dorms, private rooms, and cabins. Lush garden with orchids, citrus, firepit for cool evenings surrounded by Adirondack chairs, and more. Good restaurant with local and foreign dishes and, of course, hand-crafted beer brewed on site. Birding tours on the lake (L450) with local guides. All rooms have been fully renovated. There is always a good mix of travelers, volunteers, teachers in Honduras, and locals.
The lake is off the highway between Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula. Bus and car are the only options for getting there.
