Discover Zambrano: Pine Forest, Waterfalls, and Lagoon

Zambrano brings together a variety of natural attractions and leisure activities: pine forest and recreational areas, waterfalls, and activities on a lagoon. These include places to share special moments in a natural setting, as well as hikes and excursions. Each experience has a very different focus.

Pine Forest and Time Together

Bosques de Zambrano combines pine forest and recreational areas with places to share special moments in a natural setting. This gives it a different focus from an excursion whose destination is a waterfall or the lagoon: here, the forest and spending time together take center stage. If Bosques de Zambrano is part of your plans, check the current operating conditions before your visit. When planning group excursions, the focus varies: Bosques de Zambrano offers places for special moments in a natural setting; Cascada Escondida combines hikes with outings with friends and family.

Waterfalls with Different Features

Salto del Venado is a waterfall with clear water and several pools that form beneath the large cascade. Cascada Escondida is surrounded by trees and is a place for hikes and outings with friends and family. The two waterfalls therefore differ in their described character: at Salto, the cascade and pools define the scene, while at Cascada, the wooded surroundings and hiking are also part of the experience. If you are planning a hike to Cascada Escondida, check the current access conditions in advance.

Activities at Parque Aurora

At Parque Aurora, activities to consider include kayaking and rides in small rowboats on the lagoon, as well as horseback riding and cycling tours. The two boating activities both take place on the lagoon, while horseback riding and cycling tours offer a different focus. This lets you plan your outing based on whether you would rather be on the water or enjoy one of the other activities. Check which offerings are currently available before making plans.

A Story About the Park’s Founding

A story published in 2017 reports that Aurora, a Mexican woman, founded Parque Aurora on February 9, 1969. According to the story, she stayed in Honduras because she had fallen in love with the son of Tiburcio Carías Andino. This account adds a personal founding story to the park’s natural attractions and leisure activities.
