WOW... visit of 2 parcs (capucins, sloths, Parrot, explanation of the island). gumbalimba / manawakie park was my favorite, we were able to take the time with the animals, no rush! I recommend Patrice 10000%.
We interacted with animals at a sanctuary, discovered a local microbrewery and a rum factory... finished with a break at the heavenly West End beach! A wonderful day of discovery, a happy group, and precious memories of the beauties of Roatan!
