La Moskitia, "Mosquito Coast" in English, is one of the wildest and
most pristine jungles of Latin America.
First colonized by missionaries and then pirates along the coast, this jungle region is
home to the Pech, Miskito and
Tawahka Indians. The indigenous Garifuna live on its coast.
This rainforest is also home to amazing wildlife including the endangered tapir and
jaguar. The Rio Platano Biosphere has
been named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The possibilities for kayaking up rivers and
into lagoons are unlimited.
