Trujillo

Trujillo, on the Caribbean coast east of La Ceiba, is one of the oldest Spanish towns in Central America, founded in 1525. It combines colonial history, Garífuna culture and calm beaches on the wide Bay of Trujillo, with far fewer crowds than other coastal towns.

Getting to Trujillo from La Ceiba

The drive from La Ceiba to Trujillo takes about 3 to 3.5 hours along the coastal highway through Jutiapa and Sabá. Public buses on this route are slow with several changes, so a shuttle or private transfer is the most comfortable way to get there. We pick up at your hotel or at the La Ceiba ferry dock.
