Honduras

Embarking on a volunteering gap year in Honduras offers an incredible opportunity to discover the beauty and fascination of this vibrant country while fully immersing yourself in a Spanish-speaking community.

Though one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, Honduras has a rich cultural history, being home to many Mesoamerican cultures such as Lenca and Mayan civilisations. It is off the well-beaten backpackers trail with communities coming together to warmly welcome you as a Volunteer, who will be a thoroughly appreciated asset to their projects.

Honduras offers the opportunity to live independently with your partner or with a host family, both options will allow you to explore Honduras’ unique culinary identity and the beautiful surroundings. With soaring vistas, valleys and mountain views, covered in lush carpets of green woodlands and agricultural land Honduras provides unending and breath-taking viewpoints.
