Honduras: Cayos Cochinos

Positioned off the northern coast of Honduras, the small Caribbean archipelago of Cayos Cochinos beckons to scuba divers, snorkelers and nature-lovers alike. The islands and small coral cays form part of the world’s second largest barrier reef system, and have been designated as a Marine Biological Reserve. In addition to exploring underwater, visitors can also immerse themselves in the Garifuna culture. (This video was filmed in July 2009 in conjunction with the Honduras Institute of Tourism.)
