For your typical traveler, people watching can be an adventure in itself. You will see all kinds here, from scantily clad women to the older generation wearing traditional clothing. You may have trouble maneuvering through the city as the street vendors’ assortment of t-shirts, shoes, cheeses, toys, toiletries, and many other knick knacks overflow from the sidewalks into the streets. It is quite a site … like nothing you would ever see in the world.

La Ceiba gives a traveler a realistic glimpse of Central American city life. One sees it all here – The party itself was much better than we had expected, being able to experience Latin culture – music, costumes, and dancing – was a treat.

Make sure to go to the festival with hotel reservations, as getting a room upon arrival during Carnaval is next to impossible.
