The Fort of Santa Barbara stayed active even after the execution of famed American adventurer William Walker in 1860. Trujillo became home to many black Caribs, descendants of those that were marooned in Roatan in 1796. Today it is very multi-cultural city with each culture retaining their identity. In and around this tropical community you can find many exciting points of interest. This rustic, yet full service resort offers all the basic comforts in a true paradise environment.
Food here is great.
From Santa Fe you can continue on along the coast to the end of the road to Guadalupe, where you will find some of the better Garifuna artisans. Another nice tour is to the Guaimoreto Lagoon, a perfect place to look at birds or just enjoy its exceptional virgin beauty. After the Lagoon you will want to visit the Hacienda Tumbador, a old Honduran cattle ranch that in recent years has taken on the preservation of its local crocodiles. Among the many sites and sounds of Trujillo is Capiro and Calentura, a large national park and a great place to hike, hide and enjoy the view. Fucagua, a non profit organization has taken special interest and is actively participating in the conservation of this park.
