what we do

We provide bilingual, culturally rooted outdoor programs that empower Latino and underserved communities through education, nature access, and environmental justice.

Through our year-round programming, we offer affordable outdoor experiences, workshops, and leadership training that are culturally relevant, bilingual, and rooted in community values.

LOCO POR LA AVENTURA is a Latino-led nonprofit organization based in Portland, Oregon, building equitable bridges between the outdoors, education, and community wellness—for the Latino community and beyond. We welcome everyone, regardless of language, cultural background, or experience level. Whether you speak Spanish, English, or another language—you are invited to explore, connect, and thrive with us. Through our year-round programming, we offer affordable outdoor experiences, workshops, and leadership training that are culturally relevant, bilingual, and rooted in community values. Some of our events are offered completely free, thanks to the support of our partners and donors.

Environmental Stewardship

We believe that caring for the land is part of who we are. We promote outdoor ethics, conservation practices, and a deep cultural respect for nature in everything we do.

Culturally Rooted Adventures

From gym climbing to summiting peaks, we offer outdoor experiences that center Latino culture, language, and leadership. Whether it’s your first hike or your hundredth climb, there’s space for you here.

Outdoor Access & Equity

We break down barriers—language, financial, cultural—that prevent Latino and underserved communities from accessing the outdoors. Our programs are free or low-cost, bilingual, and designed with community needs in mind.

Outdoor Education & Leadership

We train the next generation of bilingual outdoor leaders through hands-on courses, mentorship, and immersive learning. Our goal is to build lasting representation in the outdoor industry—from guides to gear experts.

Community-Powered Gear

Through our BaseCamp Mountaineering Center, we make the outdoors more accessible for everyone. We offer affordable gear rentals, bilingual training, secondhand apparel, and a consignment model that keeps high-quality equipment circulating in the community. Every purchase, rental, or consigned item goes beyond individual use—it fuels sustainability and directly reinvests back into our programs, ensuring more families and future leaders can thrive in the outdoors.
