Group Travel

Transportation & Logistics

There are a few ways to get you and your group to Honduras, but the three preferred methods are flying with Delta, Continental, or American Airlines. When you book your flight, make sure your final destination is Tegucigalpa, Honduras (TGU).

Once you arrive at TGU, a member of the Mission Lazarus team will be there to receive you. You'll walk together next door to the car rental shop and pick up the vehicles that Mission Lazarus has reserved for you, or if you have a larger group, hop in the reserved bus. The drive from Tegucigalpa to Posada San Lázaro, just outside of San Marcos de Colón, will take approximately 4 hours, depending on traffic.

Immunization & Malaria Pills

Although the Mission Lazarus Office and Posada San Lázaro are located in the mountains at 3500 ft above sea level, we still recommend that all groups and individuals follow the guidelines given by the Center for Disease Control.

Maximize your time in Honduras and keep from getting sick by taking a few precautions. Please check out the CDC's website for Honduras for the recommended immunizations and malaria prevention.

Group & Lodging Photos

Throughout the year Mission Lazarus has been blessed with dozens of groups with hundreds of volunteers that make the trip to help be God's hands and feet in Honduras. Without the help of these groups, there are many projects that could not have been accomplished in a such a short amount of time.

See some of the projects our groups have tackled over the years, as well as Posada San Lázaro, where you'll be staying.

Passport & Visa Requirements

Since you will be leaving the USA on this trip, don't forget to apply for your passport at least 3 months in advance. It will be important to give it as much time as possible to process, as expediting the application can be very expensive.

To find out more about the passport application, visit travel.state.gov.

Honduras issues a free 90 day tourist visa for US citizens. Group members are responsible for marking tourist on their immigration forms.
