La Ceiba is the third city of Honduras, and a melting pot of almost any kind of race around in this part of the world. Because of this, it has a unique, vibrant and attractive character.
Ceiba is the name of a tree common in Honduras. In the interior towns, the ceiba is often placed on the main square, its huge branches providing shade to passers-by. Moreover, the tree can become very old. The third largest city of Honduras is called La Ceiba, and indeed, it was named after a huge ceiba tree close to the beach. When the tree was still there, it was a natural provider of shade for those living and working in this hot climate, but unfortunately, the tree is gone. The city is very alive, though. As the locals say, Tegucigalpa is for rulers, San Pedro Sula for workers, and La Ceiba for those who want to enjoy life. It is famous for its nightlife, it is a stsrting point for nearby national parks, and a jumping point for trips to the Bay Islands.
