The Cayos Cochinos are a small, idyllic island group in the Caribbean. They lie about 30 kilometers north of the coast near La Ceiba, between the mainland and the island of Roatán. The archipelago consists of two larger islands (Cayo Mayor and Cayo Menor) and 12 small coral islands and sand cays.

Because the islands form a protected nature reserve, fishing and commercial tourism are strictly regulated. Some of the smaller islands are inhabited by the Garífuna, an Afro-Indigenous people known for their music, dances, and cuisine (for example, machuca, a fish dish made with plantains). Unlike the more tourist-oriented neighboring islands, the Cayos Cochinos have preserved their original character. They are a true natural paradise—ideal for anyone who wants to experience seclusion, an unspoiled underwater world, and authentic culture in an exclusive setting.
