ECOTOURISM AND ADVENTURE IN MEXICO
Mexico has a great variety of flora and fauna, as well as a large number of refuges for extraordinary species. Our coasts are chosen by the gray whale to reproduce, our deserts and forests are great natural sanctuaries, we have the second largest reef in the world, 39% of marine mammals live in our seas and also, throughout Mexico there are more than 176 protected natural areas, 5 of them considered by UNESCO as Natural Heritage of Humanity. Just for this and much more, we believe that Mexico is a Paradise for Ecotourism.
With almost two million km2, our country is one of the 10 most biodiverse on the planet, which places it in a privileged site for ecotourism, because in addition to native species it also has those that migrate annually, such as Monarch butterflies, turtles marine, gray whales, ducks, pelicans, eagles and songbirds. Likewise, it offers excellent facilities to carry out actions and enjoy ecosystems as varied as forests, jungles, deserts, mountains, coasts, beaches, reefs, islands, rivers and lakes, lagoons, waterfalls, archaeological zones, caves and many more environments.
Today we know that ecotourism facilitates the sustainable use of natural resources and assumes the responsibility of conserving the natural world, where man can be in contact with the environment: an ideal option to explore every corner of the country. This way of traveling allows you to admire majestic mountainous or desert landscapes, listen to the sound of the wind, the flow of water and the singing of strange birds.
More and more travelers are choosing a vacation that allows them to connect with nature, enjoy the landscapes, the weather and adventure. This, away from the conventional tourism that characterizes some places and especially certain seasons of the year.
That is why ecotourism, more than a trend, is a new way to explore the destinations that are in our country discovering unique and memorable activities that you will enjoy as a traveler, while you can respect and take care of the environment.
