Why do I organize this trip?First of all, because I love
Honduras. I was born and raised in this country, and I want to share its beauty and culture with others.
Most importantly, because I want to give back to my country. By inviting tourists to visit Honduras, I am contributing to the economic growth of a 3rd world country.
Honduras, like many Latin-American countries,
depends heavily on tourism… you can be part
of this!!
