Fodor's Expert Review Cerro Mico
La Mosquitia
Moderate, two days, three guides. Take the two-hour pipante ride to Walpaulbansirpe and overnight in tents or at a hospedaje. The next morning, hike along the mixed terrain of rolling trails and steep climbs to Cerro Mico, also called Monkey Hill for its abundance of, well, monkeys. Hike down a different path to a creek that bleeds into Río Plátano and return to Las Marías in the afternoon. Or, head back upriver to check out the second set of petroglyphs.
