Garifonda is the association born from Coco Tours and Coco Cabañas' community commitment to the Garifuna village of Triunfo de la Cruz, Honduras.
« Discovering a country while respecting and valuing it. »
Since 1995, Coco Tours has been a local French-speaking travel agency specializing in custom trips and responsible tours in Honduras and Nicaragua. Founded by Miguel, a Frenchman who has lived in Honduras since 1994, married to a Honduran woman and father of five French-Honduran children, our team is deeply rooted in the local culture.
Based in the Garifuna village of Triunfo de la Cruz, on the Bay of Tela, we favor respectful, community-minded tourism designed to foster genuine encounters with local communities, off the beaten path.
We work closely with Indigenous and Garifuna communities to help them benefit directly from the economic returns of tourism. Our approach to travel is deeply human, community-minded, and eco-conscious — we believe it's possible to discover a country while respecting and valuing it, and that has been our mission for nearly 30 years.
By booking directly with a local French-speaking agency, you're guaranteed a personalized trip at a fair price.
Garifuna, Chortí, Lenca… we've worked for years with these communities to create authentic, lasting exchanges.
Our tours limit environmental impact: low-impact transportation, small family-run lodging, committed partners.
Off the beaten path, you'll have real encounters in places often overlooked, far from mass tourism.
Flexible itineraries to biodiversity-rich areas where nature reigns.
Afro-Caribbean, Indigenous, or rural: local cultures are at the heart of your experience.
15% of the price of every trip goes to community development projects — sustainable housing, schools, health centers, public facilities.
Cuisine, music, languages, and living traditions: local knowledge shared by the families themselves.
