This is a wholesome top excitement adventure which will take you to some of the most remote places within the Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve, a site declared World Heritage by UNESCO, where we shall be protagonists of an exotic journey across diverse tropical environments and landscapes.
Imagine our main scenario on the riverbed of the Platano where we will cover a distance of 130 Km, starting at its headwaters on the south side of the reserve and just about reaching its outlet to the Caribbean Sea at the North Coast. After walking through the last farmland territories on the buffer zone, a quite interesting ground approach, most of our trip is performed by navigating rafts through a natural environment where the tropical rain forest displays the lush of exuberant pristine vegetation.

The sequence of calm waters followed by the fast currents of thrilling rapids also adds excitement to the countless surprises awaiting us during this incredible journey into the jungle.
The pristine environment of this ecosystem allows it to be home to a great diversity of vertebrate and invertebrate species that will not easily escape our vision. Of these species, we will likely have a chance to see monkeys, of which we might see up to three species, iguanas, frogs, turtles, several fish species chased by the river otters, a diversity of butterflies among which the magnificent blue Morpho quickly outstands, gregarious parrots and solitary cranes, king fishers, cormorans, toucans, macaws, and other colorful bird species which will accompany us along our trip. Among the biggest mammals, deer, tapirs, and some big cats are the most outstanding, with the latter ones being much harder to spot due to their night lifestyle.http://lamoskitia.hn/exprioplatano10.html
