Are the mosquitoes really bad in La Moskitia? Is that where the region gets its name?
Actually, the mosquitoes in La Moskitia are no worse than any other location along Honduras’ north coast. Now, during certain months of the year there can be periods where they are more bothersome, but it’s simply not that frequent. Like anywhere else, they tend to come out in the early evenings, but the near constant wind that blows along La Moskitia’s Caribbean coast and the cooler temperatures of the rainforest highlands tend to keep mosquitoes away.
