Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. In fact, we make a donation on behalf of every traveler. Trips to Honduras directly support our foundation partner, Adelante Foundation.

Adelante Foundation

The Adelante Foundation empowers vulnerable women in Honduras with small loans to grow businesses that help them achieve economic self-sufficiency and transform their lives. Donations from our trips support female entrepreneurs to start and grow businesses, send their children to school, and become more resilient to external shocks.
