Trujillo is\u00a0one of the first cities founded by the Spaniards<\/strong>\u00a0during the conquest, because thanks to the depth of the bay, it was perfect for the navigation of the great Spanish merchant ships.\u00a0Punta Caxina<\/strong>, now called\u00a0Punta Castilla<\/strong>, was where\u00a0Admiral Col\u00f3n<\/strong>\u00a0arrived for the first time to Honduras, after discovering the\u00a0island of Guanaja<\/strong>. This marks the beginning of the conquest, but above all, the beginning of Trujillo\u2019s history.<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Trujillo is a place rich in history of pirates, conquests, corsairs, banana companies, with a pre-Columbian past that makes this destination a unique attraction. Its historic center is made up of the beautiful buildings of the\u00a0San Juan Bautista Cathedral<\/strong>, the\u00a0Santa B\u00e1rbara Fortress<\/strong>, the old cemetery, and other important buildings. We cannot leave out its delicious cuisine, where you can taste tabletas and coconut bread, kazabe, and the traditional gifitti, a\u00a0Gar\u00edfuna<\/strong>\u00a0drink.<\/p>\n

The Capiro and Calentura National Park<\/strong>, the Laguna de Guaimoreto, the beaches of\u00a0Campamento and Santa Fe<\/strong>, are all part of the natural beauty found in this area. To continue adding to the natural attraction of the destination, we must mention the famous \u201cBanco de Estrellas de Trujillo<\/strong>,\u201d where you can find about 30 types of starfish in one place.\u00a0Cayo Blanco<\/strong>\u00a0is the most recent discovery, a unique coral bank located on the coast of the department of Col\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Capiro and Calentura National Park<\/strong>, part of the Honduran Protected Areas System, represents an important refuge for wildlife, having among its most representative exponents the macaws and the most significant species of Honduran primates known locally as \u201cmicos.\u201d The largest population of the capuchin or white face monkey is among those that stand out.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
