A narrow road hugs the island’s limestone spine as the van eases toward a patch of green—this is Roatán, where palms lean and the reef nudges curiosity. Guests step into an eco park where capuchins and sloths move at their own tempo, butterflies open and close like small suns in a glass garden, and a suspension bridge lets the canopy breathe around you.
