We provide a comprehensive series of Eco-Tours in La Ceiba area and the La Moskitia Region that are second to none. With a strong team of professionally trained local guides we continue to provide tours that are personalized, eco friendly, exciting and informative. The Rio Cangrejal and the rainforests of the North Coast of Honduras are spectacular and we are fortunate enough to have a part of it. Regardless of the upcoming increase in tourism in our area, the increase in interest in Honduras in general and in our own rapid growth over the past three years we intend to stay a relatively small company in order to maintain a personalized attention to our clients and maintain a staff that enjoys their work to the fullest.

Owner/Operator
Oscar Perez is a native born Honduran who is both a visionary and an explorer yet embodies the tranquilo spirit of his people. He was the first Honduran to practice whitewater rafting right here on the Rio Cangrejal over a decade and a half ago. Oscar Perez has created not only a world class level of tour options but an environment at Jungle River Lodge that soothes the soul and acts as a welcome resting place for the traveler from afar as well as an adventure playground for the keen outdoors enthusiast.
