Rural Inns in Central America
The concept of rural tourism is growing in Europe and around the world. Travelers’ are tired of large cities and want to experience a different lifestyle, and what better option than to travel to the rural areas around the world. Rural inns in Central America are beginning to pop up here and there in special unique areas, providing the opportunity to experience life in the lovely countryside of the different countries in the region.
In an effort to promote Rural Inns in Central America, a regional organization has managed to bring together the 7 Central American countries and created a federation of Rural Inns in Central America. Their web site: http://turismoruralcentroamerica.com/en/home provides a list of contacts, pictures and information for those looking for a true experience in the Central American countryside! This experience focuses both on rural and natural environments, with some of the inns located within agricultural communities and others set in a more natural environment, near or within the National Parks of Central America.
In Honduras, many of the inns are located close to coffee farms, and provide a unique opportunity to get acquainted with this important agricultural product that has become a backbone for the economy in Honduras. Additionally, I must mention that Honduran coffee has gotten raving reviews for its quality in the World market. Some of the rural inns in Central America that are part of this network are Casa Castejon in the Finca El Cisne near Copan Ruinas, and the Hotel Boutique El Cafetal in Danli.
Other options, such as Cabanas del Bosque and La Villa de Soledad B&B are located within the Cangrejal River Valley, a lovely area that is shared by two national parks: Pico Bonito and Nombre de Dios. Here you will find some of the most attractive natural areas for rural inns in Central America! For a complete list of hotels in the Cangrejal River Valley, visit www.cangrejalriver.com.
