to Casa Kiwi where there is
something for everyone. We are the only place in Trujillo truly set up for
backpackers, whether you want to relax, play or just meet other travellers
and best of all; we're right on a secluded beach. Even if you don't
consider yourself a
backpacker you will find Casa Kiwi Our newly built complex of budget accommodation, bar, restaurant and internet cafe is situated in large grounds with spectacular views and ensures you peace and quiet not found in town. Read: No cocks crowing at 4am with the adjoining dog barking chorus! We also boast having the best spot in town for watching the sun go down over a cocktail or two...it's right out in front of the bar (and beach). If you're into sunrises then they are available as well - although you do have to leave the bar for those. Come to Casa Kiwi and we will do our best to make your stay
in Trujillo a memorable one. Trujillo has much to offer; whether it's the
Capiro - Calentura National Park, cool waterfalls, fishing, snorkelling, the Guaimoreto Lagoon, Garifuna villages
along the coast, blobbing on the beach or just propping up the bar.
It's all within easy reach, or stumble, depending on your time in the
bar.......
It was on August 14, 1502 that Christopher Columbus landed on the shores of Trujillo Bay and there is a local joke that upon leaving, he told the local people not to do anything until he got back.......and they haven't. Come and see for yourself if it's true. Some of our guests have told us they are surprised at the peacefulness and friendliness of this area because they had heard stories of crime and the beaches being dangerous. While several years ago Honduras experienced an increase of crime in some of the larger cities, this was generally isolated to those areas and not directed towards tourists. Fortunately President Maduro is effectively cracking down on crime and today Honduras is no more dangerous than most places in the world. Most incidents are gang related and are amongst those in the gang neighbourhoods. Obviously, if you use common sense any traveller should, you're not likely to encounter any trouble. Trujillo is very quiet and Casa Kiwi is away from not only the noise but any trouble or trash you might find in the towns. Tourism is rebounding in this beautiful country and it is easier and safer to travel, so see you soon! If you're looking for a place to hang your hat in the Caribbean for awhile or the money bag is getting a little low, then consider staying with us and helping out. We are almost always in need of people to work in the bar and kitchen and could often use the expertise of all kinds of trades to help us with repairs and other odd jobs. We are very flexible and can work something out that suits you. Casa Kiwi is a very fun, relaxing place to work and play. Don't hesitate to contact us if you're interested or, just show up at the bar. ***If you're coming from the Bay Islands / La Ceiba be sure to check the notes on the getting there section.
