Information
Cayos Cochinos
Details
CAYOS COCHINOS
is a small archipelago off the northern coast of Honduras.
Located in the northwestern Caribbean just south of Belize, they lie at approximately 15 55' N, 86 30'W. These
privately owned jewels are composed of two hilly, lush islands (Cochino Grande and Cochino Pequeño) and 11
small coral
cays. On old British maps, they are called "The Hog Islands" and lore has it that British pirates (Henry Morgan and
the likes) "planted" hogs on these cays so they would have meat on their return trips.
Considered part of the Bay Islands, the cays are the hardest to get to, even though they are closer to the coast
than Roatán, Utila, and Guanaja. Situated about 18 nautical miles north northeast of the old banana port town of
La Ceiba, Cayos Cochinos can only be reached by boat.
Cayos Cochinos forms part of the second largest barrier reef system in the world known as the Meso-American
Barrier
Reef System and have been identified by the Smithsonian Institute, TNC, WWF, and World Bank as one of the key
sections of the Barrier Reef to preserve. In 1993, the Honduran government designated these cays and
surrounding
sea a Marine Biological Reserve
We will cruise around the different keys to enjoy the beautiful scenery and visit Chachaute Key to meet the Garifuna fishermen that live here with their families have a sit down lunch, later, there will be time for basking in the sun, swimming and snorkeling.
