Another unmissable place to visit if you come to Utila is the , fresh water cave is a mystery as if here we are surrounded by sea as there is a cave where the water that flows it is sweet. No one can explain it to you, but what we are that it is a reality. Then to go to the cave freshwater island, you have to get to where the plant is energy, which is what produces energy for the entire Utila is just the one you are seeing there behind me. Here producing energy with gasoline and solar panels. And something that seemed very curious to me is that here we they sell for recharges as with a card. Each person that has electricity in his house he has a little card, so you buy the watts. For example, we were sure yesterday went to buy it for the house, we are staying, we bought fifteen hundred lempiras, and for fifteen hundred lempiras, they gave one hundred and four watts. And so, in this way, they avoid cut off the energy from house to house, as is done in in the rest of the country, and well here when your card runs out, because you run out of electricity, and you have to go back to buy and you have to recharge again. To go to the water cave sweets, this is the entrance, there is the power plant, we enter through there, and see this how curious, here there are many corals, those rocks that are there, everything, everything, everything, look , as it is, coral, coral, coral, everything, everything, everything, all this is coral. Well, I say it's coral, right? Because it looks like rocks. Some people say that this is eh rock volcanic, like here at some time some volcano erupted and well, it left all this full of volcanic stone, but is, it's exaggerated, look. See, all you're seeing there is these rock, which I say is coral, but some believe it is stone that I don't know exactly what it is. I don't know how you do it, look. Ah, I'm going to get closer so you can see it closer. it's like that, very sharp, very pointed. Well, we come to the cave, here there are some stairs so that you come down. So if there is water we can take the other camera. 's go Let's switch cameras again. Ay ay ay. Ah, we are down here in the cave. The air doesn't blow here, it's like a normal cave, there is no air. See, here is a little house. Not know what that booth is for. Here before there was a bomb, here was the one who drew the water. Water. Oh, there was one great there. Yes, this is something curious, here in Roatán it happens It also happens in Utila that the water that is drinking water has a certain degree of salinity. So let check if the water in this cave is really fresh water. Look deep there. Ay ay ay. Well as you know I I can swim more or less, I'm not an expert in swimming but yes we come here is because we are going to get in. Right to yes, Marcos? And you see, Marcos was telling me that they say there are divers here who can reach the sea. According to cash, they go into the cave and come out into the sea. I'm getting ready here to get in. Framework. No. No. Never. Never. ice cream. good ice cream ice cream Hondo swimmer, I don't touch. I'm not bottoming out, it's deep. Doesn't it look so deep, but it is deep. And the water. It is sweet. It is sweet. It it sweet, but it always feels salty. Let's see, it's less salty than the water that reaches the tap. Well, they told me commenting here that the water that reaches the houses on the island. the It is the well that a Dutchman who lives here on the island dug and it is who sell water to everyone. And well, apparently, the well that he has is very deep, so, for this reason, water is saltier. Well, here maybe, because the water is the surface, it's a little sweeter. Let's see how far it goes. be more than two meters. For a professional Paquito is there but for me it's deep. Notice how this is a cave, so here are these lactites. Let's see, how many years in the making will they have these? They are big, there are some bigger than others. There is a crab over there, I think we camera it shows. A blue crab. It's quiet there. I think he is asleep. And, well, that's how you look at the cave from here. See, the water looks. The water looks blue, right? This place is beautiful. To come hang out. Someone left his clothes lying around. I don't know if underpants or what? But it has he looks like it's underwear that's hanging there. And here you can see that there it is deeper. That part that looks like like a caidita. I don't know, I imagine that somewhere I they go to the sea. That has two meters or maybe a little more than two meters. There where it is because I was at the bottom and and I had barely left the little fingers outside. Then you know, another attraction if you come to Utila. Come visit meet here. The cave is a source of fresh water. A mystery, the truth. It is surrounded by rocks that are like volcanic type. It is a cave with even lactates. And well, if want it here we are about three kilometers from the where the ferry leaves them, about a kilometer or so from airport dock, if they come by plane, or else just take him a mototaxi smells of chocolate, take me to the freshwater cave for about few pesos, or a few dollars, will bring them. 've just arrived at another photo stop right now, he says love Utila there and see that the heart has a snorkel here, a mask and one of these breathing tubes. And it's that I don't I know if you knew, but here in Utila are the schools more cheap diving schools from all over the world. And that's because here we There's a reef so beautiful that the diving schools here are they are ideal to put them. Another activity that you you can do if you come to Utila is go diving. There is a course which is for beginners worth three hundred, three hundred thirty dollars they say, it lasts three days, depending on a school where you buy it, and well, if they come for use Utila and they bring time, they can also make that other one activity. I still don't know if I'm going to do it, if in the end we I'm going to record a full video, the only thing experience, I'm interested in doing it, but I'm not. I sure yet. Another place you should visit if you come to Utila is the factory chocolate we are here right now on the outskirts of the we are going to enter the entrance is free and well we walk here with Karen factory. Karen is from Utila, see here she was born, right Karen? No. No. No. I'm from San Juan Pueblo. Oh. I already have how. From Atlantis. From Atlantis. Nine years living here on the island and This is a nice place to enjoy with the family, right? spend an afternoon. Okay then if you come you have to come here, right? They have to come to the chocolate shop. I like how is the entrance? That there is enough bamboo shovel. Let's go in then. Let's go in. Let's go. Well, as I was saying, welcome to the factory again. I am going to explain to you by how we make chocolate here. We do not keep cocoa. Well, we don't harvest cocoa here on the island, because here we don't have high elevations here and also because our soil is very salty to harvest the cocoa. So we send bring Progress. What they do in Progreso is that they ferment cocoa and they dry it in the sun. And what we do here is already starting for doing the whole process, when one enters because we're roasting cocoa every day because he roasts to make it easier for us, he already the shells and also grind it. By grinding the cocoa, what we have is made of cocoa, which are these. The chocolate cocoa neem Normally, people use it to make wands, big wave. Substituting already made chocolate. Already having it to what we have here, the machine to make chocolate what it is, it is shaking for twenty-four hours and then they what we're going to do tomorrow is we're going to start timing the chocolate. They already gave us a tour of the factory here, chocolate, our guide is here, our guide Kenicha, wearing here from Utila, and now we are going to try thirteen types of , let's see if it's not something fatter from here. This is the say, white chocolate. that's delicious. Yes, Ok. In English. In English. They say that every one chocolate has a name of something characteristic of Utila. 've just tasted all these chocolates right now. here. These are the samples. See, this one is peculiar. A bar liked too. It's called lemongrass chocolate. And like this, so big, is worth a hundred and twenty lempiras, and a bar like this, small, is worth fifty lempiras. I'm going to bring a bar myself. By the way, we they said that the owner here is a Canadian, there is right now in the kitchen, making chocolate. They tell us that here , they make chocolate every day, and for each bar of chocolate like this, it takes four days to make a bar like this with the whole process that goes into it and, well, we eat it like in less than a minute maybe and it's four days to doing it. Ah, a little information about the station is that was founded in 1994 about German researchers that came from the corporation of of German flora and fauna and they discovered this kind of iguana is derived. The black spiny-tailed iguana, Thenosauria Bakery, also known as Suanfer, and they discovered two facts about to it. The first is that it is an endemic species, the means the word endemic, that it is a species that only belongs you can find them here in Utila, and also that it was in danger of extinction. So, they decided to start the the iguana station program for protection and conservation of the endemic black iguana. Well, its natural habitat is the part of the mangroves, from there its name, the swamp in English. And its main habitat is going to be which is the black mangrove. On the island we have four types of mangrove. Black mangrove, red mangrove, white mangrove, and it buttonwood mangrove. And in the black mangrove is where the most we will be able to find it. Well friends, see that I am here with Jonathan station. Jonathan is the only journalist who is here in the Utila Island. Nice to meet you, Joel, calmly enjoying the sun and the beautiful island of Utila is beautiful on today's eggs. Jonathan told us you can't leave Utila if you don't come at the iguana station. I didn't know there was iguana. Jonathan has brought us. So this organization makes excellent work. Oh, they have many little houses and they are raised them, they have them here for a long time and then they release them. It's like a blue iguana more or less right? Generally it is more gray or is that blue. It has different shades depending on the what they have told us. And well here in that in this fence that are looking inside is the oldest iguana that is here place. Has twenty eight years old. Twenty eight years. Older that you and me. We were not even in plans. And it's called Suampi. And it's the mascot here from Iguana Station who practically state from its beginnings was born here and well, it has lived all its life here. Oh, what are you seeing there on the motorcycle. went there to Suampi on a motorcycle in an ATV to walk peace. Wow people and they just explained to us here right now to Iguana Station because here on the island there is a plague and there are Raccoons put it. They say that about five years ago, some the tourist brought eh a couple of raccoons thought it was good idea to have raccoons as a pet in your house and seem they started to reproduce and as I know they escaped and I don't know and now five years later eh they are a plague and the raccoons eat the iguanas, they eat the turtles and they eat the blue crabs, that's what they are species that are endemic to here in Utila. I haven't seen no raccoons are leaving. But it is that they say that they only appear in the one night. And suddenly in the houses chickens are lost, lose chickens. Fewer and fewer iguanas are being seen and seeing fewer crabs. We come here for a diner that Mario's Place bottles that sell a seafood chowder. A beauty, one chuladas, delicious. It is the only place where they sell soups every day, they told us here on the island, because other places only sell on weekends. And I want showing them something. Look how many fish there are here. I'm going to throw them a little rice and they'll see the shark in that will appear there. See, see, see, see. did not come There come, come, come, come, come, come, come. They say an what it's called. Look, look, look at that animal. And I'm here, in a restaurant, calm down. Another one comes, another one comes Take. another one is coming, another one is coming. There are three, see. They walk me in that I personally had never been in a restaurant like this, that below where you are eating, there are little fish there, and not so small, but one of those big ones. Another unmissable place that you should visit if you come to Utila is The House of Glass. The official name is Jade, Sea, Horse Utila. A person has done everything that we are going to see right now I know on this tour and it has been done with the cheapest island, things that the sea leaves on the shores. So, they have collected mainly bottles, glass things, and has done everything that we are going to see next. The cost of the entrance fee is twenty-five lempiras per person and they have access to everything that's here. The first thing that greets us here at the entrance is this wall of plates computer see this is the motherboard of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine computer here is Jonathan with we have. They must come by law because it's like they don't have come to Utila is here to JC Boards because it is very interesting all the things that can be done with that that people consider garbage what people considered no longer useful. They have found a great use for all this type of material, glass, furniture of everything are very creative ideas that you can implement your home if you have this gift of art as we can see stairs made entirely with different types of material, a bit of everything. Wow this is not a glass-only day. Look how many snails in this base. Just look at the snail shells. Also has corals here. It is a slightly prominent base. There top has a pot and look at this arch. This arc is completely made of bottles. They are glass bottles and here you have like ah ceramics and Maule Chato. Look at the number of what's in this arc. They tell me, they work here, on an of them, the one that is gray than everything, all this is recycling. This is huge. From the outside you only see door. And one says, ah, it must be small. But look at everything . Jonathan tells me here that these are cabins. I think I know able to rent it. Look up there, that's about three or four floors up there. Today I think the most wonderful thing about everything is the way in which this art is complemented by nature. As you can see, they were not only dedicated to things but they adapt with nature always respecting the trees as we can see the trees are a ideal complement to demonstrate how garbage is turns into art together with nature and I think it is something of a that makes it even more special. Well you're right Jonathan, no I had noticed that, here it is in the middle of the trees, it's obvious but I hadn't noticed. If not thing that Jonathan mentions, I don't realize it, yes, it's in the middle of being trees, and yes, here you can see that the root is like surrounded by the ceramic root, that is, there is nothing but they did everything to complement one thing with the another. I remember when I was playing these marbles, maules what they call it, embedded in the cement, and well here like a small cave and there is an area of rest, if they you want to sit here and the roof is full of this, see. Cougar stones. It is found quite a lot here in Utila. It is also full of corals. These are corals, well, that they are dead. And in addition to this stone called stone, flat. I just asked and they told me yes, that these cabins that are here for rent. There about five little cabins can. They say that depending on the season of the year in which you come, because it is price. Right now in the season that I'm in, I'm here in the month of July, then it's worth sixty dollars the cabin. One, two and even three people can stay. Every one of the cabins has a name. This one, for example, I know calls it fantasies. And I'm noticing that here it's not just glass, but it's also wood. See this. This is work , in wood, glass, obviously, as you can see, and everything, everything, every floor is ceramic. Look at that ceiling. It is that, that's amazing. And the owner of this place is a European, no we know what country it's from exactly, but it lives here, calls Neal. He is the one who has practically done everything here, which is here. Right now, you have a person who is working, they are giving maintenance to one of the wooden walkways, and you also sell some stuff like souvenir, in case you want to take a little souvenir here, from the glass house. did you know that Utila is the favorite place for the for diving lovers and that is due to two simple reasons. Number because here in Utila there is the second art reef the world's largest coral. The Mesoamerica barrier. And number two is because here in Utila there are schools that things that the sea brings to diving from all over the world. So if you guys make come to Utila for another activity, of which developed here on the island if they buy enough time and if they earn enough money is to take their diving course. right now we are in front of a diving school, they call and it is a school that is certified by Padi. Pady for 's go to those who don't know, it's like FIFA for soccer, so Paddy it is the same, but for diving, they are the ones who put , the rules, and they are the ones that handle this whole issue about diving. So, here you guys when you take out a certificate, Paddi, they were worth the certificate, that is, that with that certificate, they can dive anywhere of the world. In all, here on the island there is approximately new 's diving school says that before the pandemic there was more one and they all have a similar price. We decided to come to this diving school because this school is not only a school it's also a hotel too. It has a beach and also has a restaurant and bar. Look at the one you're seeing there , they are the rooms. A night in one of those rooms can It'll cost you sixty-five dollars a single and ninety and cost five dollars for a double room. And this is the small beach that they have here. See there are some tourists here. You can sit down here if they want to get some color, that's the pier where the boats that go out to sea leave and some of them people who are snorkeling ah they are not practicing 're in the diving tank there and Jonathan tells me that it's also here in this place they sell the best wings in all of Utila. Super recommended here is Tuesday for wings every Tuesday night if you want to find out where you are because you will find it here in this restaurant on asking for wings from very early since both the local people like the tourists you can see Come here to enjoy the delicious wings that they sell here at Underwater Vision so what better way to eating a couple of wings by the sea in one night Estrellada. Jonathan already made me hungry and today is not Tuesday, today Wednesday. They sold the wings yesterday. Well, there is not problem activity because today is Karaoke Wednesday here at UnderWater. Under Vision almost always have a very important in which you can come and enjoy. Underwater Vision . Here Under Water Vision we are going to enter right now, go to the office to see how the prices of the other diving courses as well. Well, we are here in the office right now and here are the courses and the prices. I that they say that this is like for people who don't have to do the open water and this one lasts about four hours they tell me and it is worth one hundred and nine dollars, they can do it in a day. Now this is a certification, the open water insisted on me and this one they do it in three and a half days. Then there is the advanced and there's also first aid, it's eighty-nine dollars. And can see this other one is called Die Master, it's worth seven hundred fifty dollars plus the materials that are six hundred sixty-five dollars, but to get this you have having these four previous ones, the open water, the advanced, first aid, and this one is for rescue. Yes they come to Utila and miss the food from the interior of Honduras, here there is a dining room called Comedor Ana, where food that makes you feel at home, really. I have asked for a chuco chicken, semi , powerful, friend seed brutal, but they also sell tacos, they sell fried fish. there is a very extensive menu, really. Baleadas, also sell it here. Well, this is the chicken. We are going to try the slices, they are banana slices. Pollo. Very Chosadito here, very good indeed. Remember, dining room Ana, here in Sandy Bay and they are going to eat chicken like this, they get tacos, bullets, whatever you like. The people who had three hundred and twenty-nine dollars here at this school come than to visit a place called the doctor's house? John, and because I insisted so much, I said well, let to go to see Dr. John's house and we are here in the outskirts of the house Dr. John. Well doctor John is a doctor who came from the United States from Utah to live here in Utila twenty-five years ago and he was practicing his profession as a doctor in Utila but now he is no longer a but now you have your house and use it as an attraction more than here on the island. The house has a very peculiar theme and I think a lot of you might like. Yes you come here, well, you have to leave your signature, the house is completely signed inside and everyone know here Dr John's house you just ask and it tell you where it is. Practically Dr. John is like a showman. He puts on a show there, he makes them do some challenges also, you can come, we charge the entrance, and can leave it as a voluntary donation and he also sells his own shirts, his own things, he has his place own brand time.
