Hot Springs.
Located 7 km away from downtown, The Aguas Calientes Resort offers good installations to enjoy these natural hot springs, including a pleasant hotel. Restaurant and bar services are also available. It is easy to get to the springs, which are located on the road to Tocoa. Just take a taxi or a bus and have them drop you off there. If you take the bus, make sure you make prior arrangements with the driver, as they will not necessarily stop there unless you let them know in advance. In addition to the hot spring pools, there are private Jacuzzis, massage parlors and natural steam baths. The Salud y Vida spa offers rejuvenating treatments. The resort also has a small church, built as a replica of the church of Medjugorje, Yugoslavia, where the Virgin Mary is said to have made a serious of appearances. There is no doubt that the resort offers ideal conditions for religious meetings.
The spa and hot springs are open to the public, but there is an entrance fee of Lps. 50.00 per person at time of printing.

Capiro and Calentura Park.
A protected area of Honduras, it is an important refuge for wildlife. Among its most important features are the abundance of macaws and howling monkeys known locally as micos. This park is located in the mountain just behind Trujillo, and without doubt is worth your time. Although there are some trails that you can follow, going up the road past the Villas Brinkley Resort, these are not appropriately marked. The best sources of information of the park are Turtle Tours, located at the Villa Brinkley Hotel, although they also have an information spot across from the main square. Another excellent source of information is Fucagua, the local non-profit foundation that is co managing the park. Their offices are at the visitor’s center just past the last houses on the road that goes past the Villas Brinkley Hotel. This park is an excellent example of a tropical rain forest. There are some very pleasant falls within the park, following the Rio Negro up into the mountain. It is a good idea to purchase a tour into the area. You can follow the road all the way to the top of Calentura Mountain, which will give you a fantastic view of the Bay Islands towards the north and the fertile Aguan Valley to the south. The view is worth your time. If you are hiking, and are quiet, your chances of seeing or hearing monkeys are excellent!

Garifuna Villages.
The north coast of Honduras has many Garifuna villages, where the descendants of the black caribs live very much as they did when they first arrived to these shores in the late seventeen hundreds. The closest, and therefore most accessible Garifuna town to Trujillo is Cristales, which today is actually a "barrio" of Trujillo. This town, is within walking distance from any hotel in Trujillo, and can be reached either by following the road or by walking along the beach.

William Walker's tomb.
One of the most interesting North American adventurers of the last century, William Walker took it upon himself to conquer Central America for the USA. He actually became the head of government of Nicaragua, and led troops into Costa Rica and Honduras, before being captured and put in front of the firing squad in Trujillo, Honduras. His tomb can be visited at the municipal cementery in Trujillo.

Museum.
A collection of gadgets is exhibited in a private museum in Trujillo. Exhibits include precolombian artifacts, colonial pieces as well as memorabilia pertinent to Trujillo and its people. There is a symbolic entrance fee to the museum of L. 5.00. To get to the museum, which is within walking distance, just ask for directions.
Guaimoreto Lagoon.
Also a protected area, this lagoon offers a vast and complex system of canals and mangroves, inhabited by thousands of birds during the winter months. Getting into the area requires a boat. If you are looking for a boat tour, try walking out to the old bridge between Castilla and Trujillo, sometimes you can arrange for a boat trip from here. The lagoon is well worth the trip.

Santa Barbara Fortress
Built by the Spaniards to defend the city from the pirate attacks, the fortress offers mute testimony of times past, when an attack was imminent at any moment. Old cannons look out into the bay offering a typical view of many other colonial cities in the Caribbean. The fortress has recently been restored, and the process has taken into consideration a modern exhibition hall that contrast with the ancient fort. The Museum within the Fortress offers a collection of Colonial artifacts as well as an exhibit of the Garifuna Culture that is so predominant in the area around Trujillo. The fortress is open daily from 8:00 a.m. to noon and from 1:00 p.m till 4:00 p.m. There is an entrance fee of $3.00 USA per person.
