CAYO CHACHAUATE (Garifuna Island) Is the most cultural traditional island) Here we come to eat the freshest seafood meal you will find anywhere, enjoy their drumming and dancing, or just mingle with the locals and watch the children surf on 2'x 10' planks between the shallow of the two islands.
CayosCochinos is a small archipelago off the northern coast of Honduras & a highly protected Marine Reserve.
Located in the northwestern Caribbean just south of Belize, they lie at approximately 15 55' N, 86 30'W. These privately owned jewels are composed of two hilly, lush islands (Cochino Grande and Cochino Pequeño) and 14 small coral cays. On old British maps, they are called "The Hog Islands" and lore has it that British pirates (Henry Morgan and the likes) "planted" hogs on these cays so they would have meat on their return trips.
Considered part of the Bay Islands, the cays are the hardest to get to, even though they are closer to the coast than Roatán, Utila, and Guanaja. Situated about 18 nautical miles north northeast of the old banana port town of La Ceiba, Cayos Cochinos can only be reached by boat.
Cayos Cochinos forms part of the second largest barrier reef system in the world known as the Meso-American Barrier Reef System and have been identified
by the Smithsonian Institute, TNC, WWF, and World Bank as one of the key sections of the Barrier Reef to preserve. In 1993, the Honduran government designated these 
cays and surrounding sea a Marine Biological Reserve. Marine Biological Station
