Husband, self and 13yo daughter spent two nights at the Finca in March 2013. Our Honduras spring break included time in Copan Ruinas, the Lodge at Pico Bonito, and a dive resort on Roatan . . . all lovely in their own ways, but the Finca experience was the shining star. PEOPLE: Carlos is a gracious, knowledgeable, fun, competent, warm... More

We spent an overnight at the finca and the next day touring the rolling hills seeing the coffee plantation/cattle ranch on horseback. Carlos is a gracious host and proudly shared the rich history of his family's beautiful farm. The accommodation is comfortably rustic: wide veranda with welcoming chairs, hammocks, candles at night, outdoor kitchen/dining room with fantastic food (home grown).... More

Finca el Cisne was truly the highlight of our trip. Carlos is super friendly and welcoming, and staying on his property felt like visiting family. We spent the night and enjoyed both dinner and breakfast made by Odelia in the outdoor kitchen and dining room. Our morning was spent on a three-hour horseback ride around the Cartejon's 400-acre farm. This... More

This is absolutely a cannot miss for the Copan area. Spend the night (at least one!) and enjoy the company, the beautiful landscape and farm, and the delicious food. You are truly treated as a friend visiting Carlos and his home (and his parents' home). This was a lovely way to spend two days and I wish I could have... More

This was a highlight of our trip to Honduras! Carlos picked us up and we had a pleasant ride with beautiful scenery out to his farm. He gave us a tour of the amazing guest house and surrounding grounds. Then we headed up to his house to meet his family and get ready for the ride!~ Carlos makes sure and... More

Finca el Cisne was exactly what I needed after a long and rather exhausting bus ride from the North Coast. The owner Carlos is every bit your Honduran cowboy, complete with cowboy hat and swagger. As with many guided tours/attractions, the experience largely hinges on the guide. And Carlos makes a great one, from his knowledge of the Finca, Copan... More

Our stay at Finca el Cisne was the highlight of our trip to Honduras. We stayed 48 hours at the ranch and had two horseback rides, a visit to a local hot springs, tours of coffee plantations a coffee bean processing plant, and a private hydroelectric project and generally became acquainted for how a sustainable farm/ranch operation works in this...

We stayed one night at Fince el Cisne and really enjoyed it. The horseback ride is beautiful and you'll get to see some great views! It's interesting to learn about the process of making biologically grown coffee. After a great lunch we went to the Natural Hot Springs (which is a really really nice one). After the hot springs you... More
