Pena Blanca is located near Lake Yojoa a large ecological tourist destination.

The medical ward is designed to take full advantage of the Hondurian climate. Pena Blanca averages about 12 hours of daylight per day. During this period the extreme heat can cause many uncomfortable conditions so the room has jalouius windows which allow for natural air flow and also helps block the heat from the direct sunlight and a clerestory to allow for proper air ventilation throughout the space.
