In Tela, you can admire and appreciate the natural beauty all around you, and there's no better place to experience the diverse ecosystems of the region than visiting the Lancetilla Botanical Garden & Research Center. Dating back to 1925, it was established as an agricultural research station for studying plants, fruits and vegetables. Originally the focus was on the country's major exports, bananas and plantains, but soon the gardens became a world-renowned center home to different tropical species from around the world and a tropical forest preserve with native trees and plants. Today, it's the only botanical garden in Honduras and one of the largest experimental botanical gardens in Latin America.
