Honduras Gap Year Ideas
Those seeking authenticity, adventure and beauty can label Honduras as a dream destination. This undiscovered pearl still holds many paths that not many have traveled upon before.
The Mayan ruins of Copan breaths secrets and mystery while you roam through ancient temples and detailed sculptures whilst the coffee plantations in the mountain villages of Santa Barbara shows modern accents in a setting that seems to have been frozen in time.
From the explosive San Pedro Sula you’ll continue west to Puerto Cortes, the city boasting an impressive port has kept her identity and found the right balance of modern and authentic. While Puerto Cortes embraces its international port, Tela seems to be enjoying its retirement on the beautiful beaches in the aftermath of a once booming industry.
All the routes that connect these precious towns and cities are itself a work of art and you can’t help think that this county, with all its beauty, was made to travel through. The person that says: ‘It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey’, must have had Honduras in mind!

Gap Year Volunteering in Honduras
We believe that travelling, especially gap year volunteering, is the ultimate way to stimulate personal growth and broaden one’s horizon. The exploration of foreign and unknown territories allows us to connect with a variety of cultures and walks of life.
We realize the incredible impact that an individual can have in a country like Honduras. Where one person dedicating his or her time can touch an astounding number of lives by simply holding an orphans hand, talking to an elderly person about the weather or arranging a soccer game for the kids that live in the barrio’s (slums) of the larger cities. The smiles and gratitude you receive by simply paying attention to their existence and getting to know the culture shall surely leave you feeling at least partly Honduran before too long.
