Community-based tourism & ecotourism
Mexico ranks among the most biodiverse countries on the planet, and many of its best-preserved natural areas are cared for by Indigenous and local communities. Community ecotourism lets you discover that richness responsibly, directly supporting the people who protect it. Here are some experiences you can live through Eco-Raíces.
On the coast of Oaxaca you can take part in returning turtle hatchlings to the sea, night-time nesting monitoring and mangrove tours, alongside cooperatives devoted to their conservation.
The wetlands of Campeche are home to flamingos, dolphins and an enormous variety of birds. Boat and kayak tours bring you close to this ecosystem, guided by the fishing communities.
In Chiapas you can venture into the rainforest, spot scarlet macaws and stay in ecolodges run by communities that safeguard one of the last great tropical forests in the country.
The sierra of Puebla offers ziplines, cabins, ethnobotanical gardens and deeply rooted cuisine. Ideal for reconnecting with nature without straying too far from the center of the country.
Ecotourism done well respects the rhythms of nature and of the communities. When you book directly with the people who care for each territory, your visit becomes real support for conservation and the local economy.
