Besides the lake itself, around it are the Los Naranjos archaeological site, Cerro Azul Meámbar National Park, Pulhapanzak Falls and Peña Blanca, a town in the municipality of Santa Cruz de Yojoa whose villages and hamlets border the lake. According to Visit Honduras, Los Naranjos is about 3 km from Peña Blanca, and Pulhapanzak 17 km. The lake, Pulhapanzak and Peña Blanca have their status backed by dated 2026 sources; Los Naranjos and Cerro Azul Meámbar have unconfirmed status. La Prensa reported on 13 October 2026 that the rising lake had cut the road to a single lane in the La Joya sector, between La Guama and Peña Blanca
