Lago de Yojoa (Lake Yojoa) Facts
Halfway between Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula, on the main north/south highway that connects the Golfo de Fonseca (Pacific Ocean) to Puerto Cortes (Atlantic Ocean), is Lake Yojoa. You can’t miss it. The lake is comparable to Lake Tahoe in California. On the lake side of the road there are at least 50 small restaurants that will serve you fresh bass right out of the lake for about $5, and is normally served with coleslaw and tortillas. There are many nice hotels and restaurants in the Lake Yojoa area. Due to its proximity, you may also find a a place to stay and/or dine in Comayagua or Siguatepeque. There is also a nice swimming area about one mile south, called Playa de las Marias.
Six miles on the south end of the lake you will see the entrance to Cuevas de Taulabe ( underground caves ) [be sure to watch the Lake Yojoa video below]. To the north, near Santa Rita, about thirty minutes from Lake Yojoa, turn off west towards Rio Lindo, and you will find the Pulhapenzak Waterfalls. There is much evidence that the Lake Yojoa area was once inhabited by the Mayan Indians, some of which can be observed at a small island in the lake, as well as at Pullhapenzak Waterfalls, where you can visit a Mayan ceremonial center.
