Zoo with tropical animals such as monkeys, bright-colored parrots, and others. While not a horrible zoo, and worth seeing if you don't mind dropping a few dollars on the entrance fee, the zoo features mostly lethargic animals, the larger ones often noticeably insane as a result of their encagement. The zoo has a variety of monkeys, crocodiles, a jaguar, tapirs (anteaters), snakes, a collection of various raptors, and others.
National Zoo
National park featuring a zoo, Christ statue, and mountainside parkland overlooking the city of Tegucigalpa.
A huge statue of Jesus Christ which is visible from almost any point in the city. Free parking is available at the entrance of the park. The views from the park are gorgeous. The park is well maintained, clean, and seemingly not very busy (though likely busier on weekends).
All about the history of the republic of Honduras.
An old neighbourhood in the center of Tegus, overlooking the central park. It is a bit of a labyrinth to make your way up the old steep windy streets to arrive at parque La Leona, but it is a nice park, with a beautiful view, and a relaxed atmosphere. If walking, if you start facing the front door of the basilica in the central park, head to your left, and just keep walking up hill, and you will almost certainly hit the park as long as you continue upwards. Or ask someone in the area. In the park there is a little store/restaurant that sells typical Honduran food and has a patio overhanging from the park, with a spectacular view of the city, the valley, and the hills.
