2014 Independence Day Holiday in Honduras
The 2014 Independence Day Holiday in Honduras is falling on a Monday this year, allowing Hondurans an extended weekend and therefore time for some travel. Honduras, as well as the rest of Central America, celebrates its Independence Day on the 15th of September, which is the date when Spain capitulated and recognized the independence of their American Colony known as New Spain, whose seat of government was Mexico City. Independence was granted in 1821, which means that Honduras is 7 years short of celebrating its bicentennial as an independent country.
The long weekend for the 2014 Independence Day Holiday in Honduras means that many Hondurans and Central Americans will be traveling within the country this coming weekend. Many will be taking advantage of low season prices, and will be visiting the Bay Islands of Honduras and Copan, which are the traditional vacation spots in Honduras; however one of the best options for this long weekend is the Cangrejal River Valley. After several months of very little rain, it has finally begun raining in the Caribbean Coast of Honduras, and the Cangrejal River is absolutely fantastic!
The Cangrejal River Valley offers a wide variety of adventure activities is you are looking for some action, the best white water rafting in Honduras is to be found here. For more information on white water rafting, visit www.omegatours.info and www.lamoskitia.hn. In addition, there are great hiking trails that will take you to hidden waterfalls in the tropical rain forest.
