Indura: A Paradise for Birdwatching

The Indura area is one of the most remarkable destinations for birdwatching in the northern region of the country, hosting over 130 species of both resident and migratory birds. Its richness comes from the variety of habitats—lagoons, channels, open areas, secondary vegetation, and wooded zones—which support different feeding groups such as frugivores, insectivores, granivores, and nectarivores.

Among the most striking species are the Sungrebe, Russet-naped Wood-Rail, and American Pygmy Kingfisher, all associated with well-preserved aquatic ecosystems. Also noteworthy are neartic migratory species of high tourism interest, such as the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, a rare sight in northern Honduras and highly valued by international birdwatchers due to its distinctive appearance.

Birdwatching not only allows us to enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings, but also helps monitor the health of ecosystems and promote sustainable practices that strengthen the relationship between biodiversity and responsible tourism.
