Sites
Apart from the Pumpkin Hill, Gunter's Driftwood Gallery can be an interesting site to visit. Gunter is an Austrian who moved to the island around 30 years ago. His gallery consists of several paintings and a variety of items carved out of driftwood. He is friendly and a great source of local information.

Facilities
Utila now has 24-hour power provided by a modern generator, which insures regular service. There is no doubt investment in the island has increased substantially as a result of this service.
There are two different Spanish language schools in Utila for tourists. The Central American School for language has been successfully operating for a couple of years in addition with the Centro Internacional de Idiomas. Both schools offer quality courses, which will help you spruce up your Spanish and communicate better on the Honduran Mainland as well as at the different Central American countries that you plan to visit during your trip.

Events
Utila has become quite famous for two different events that take place every year. The Utila Carnival, which takes place the third week in July, offers a unique view of the Island culture together with many different activities taking place during that week. The other yearly event is the Utila Sunjam, a massive techno music party that takes place at Water Key during the first week in August. Sunjam is an all night party place, where dancing and listening to techno music provide a platform for meeting people from around the world and for having fun. A hammock might come in handy after a hard party's night.
