The best time to visit Puerto Lempira is during the dry season, which runs from February to May.
During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny weather and calmer seas, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region. The lack of rain means that the unpaved roads are more accessible, and outdoor activities like boat trips on the Laguna de Caratasca are much more enjoyable. This period is particularly good for those interested in wildlife spotting and experiencing the local Miskito culture without the disruption of heavy rainfall.
While the "shoulder" months of January and June can also be pleasant, they mark the transition into or out of the rainy season, so you might encounter occasional showers.
