'El Cocal' Homestead is a twelve acre cocopalm plantation beachfront getaway located between two Garifuna Villages, Tornabe (1 Km west) and San Juan (3 Km east). Tela City is 10 Km east. La Ceiba is 20 Km east where ferries or airplanes are available to go to the Bay Islands and other destinations. Copan ruins are a 4 hour car ride.
There are many oportunities for service work or cultural exchange at the local schools, rural government and NGO clinics, orphanages, and protected national parks. There are fun day trip opportunities to river rafting, river foraging, botanical gardens, hidden lagoons, snorkeling trips and more. But some of best times are spent right there at the homestead floating in the calm Caribbean Sea, boogie boarding when the waves pick up, playing tennis or beach soccer or volleyball, kayaking, painting, writing, reading and stargazing.
