Mexico Ecotourism Adventures Tour

Ecotourism has become increasing popular with travelers worldwide. Today’s emphasis on “going green” and preserving local culture has brought this important aspect of tourism to many travelers around the globe. 

Ecotourism is about uniting conservation, communities, and sustainable travel. Its core principles include building environmental and cultural awareness and respect; minimizing impact; and raising sensitivity to the host country’s environmental and social climate.

Ecotourism is a conscious form of tourism that allows travelers to visit the wilderness, underwater, jungles and other beautiful areas of the globe to experience the wonder and adventure of nature, without having a negative impact on the environment.

This intentional approach to tourism appeals to many conservation-minded vacationers. Ecotourism allows travelers to experience the natural beauty, exotic wildlife and local culture of an area – and also play an active role in preserving the earth’s natural landscapes and habitats.

Riviera Maya Mexico Ecotourism
Mexico ecotourism has become increasing important to the country and its visitors. Mexico’s geography is diverse and features natural beauty from deserts to its tropical rain forests. Attractions such as the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the world’s second-largest barrier reef system, highlight the importance of ecotourism in Mexico.

The east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, an area known as the Riviera Maya, is one of the region’s best-suited areas for Mexico ecotourism. Stretching from Cancún in the north to Tulum in the south, this region offers a little bit of everything — from lush tropical rain forests to exquisite snorkeling sites.

The Yucatán Peninsula is home to some of the largest continuous tracts of tropical rain forest in Central America. The forest stretches into Guatemala and also Belize.

This beautiful area of the world is also dotted with cenotes. Cenotes are sinkholes connected to underground rivers and bodies of water. Used in ancient times as a source of potable water, cenotes are now a popular attraction for Caribbean visitors looking for underwater adventure. Rappelling into one of these cenotes opens up an underground world of beauty and adventure. Visitors can snorkel in the vast system of caves and marvel at awe inspiring rock formations.

When in Mexico, don’t pass up the opportunity to witness the beauty of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Snorkeling in the Caribbean provides an amazing opportunity to enjoy exotic marine life, colorful fish and majestic sea turtles.

You can make your visit to Mexico exciting and educational by working with a local ecotour company like Aventuras Maya. This provides a great way to enjoy the adventure of the Riviera Maya in a manner that protects the environment and supports the local community.

Aventuras Mayas offers tours that help visitors to Mexico explore the Caribbean’s natural playgrounds in a way that protects the environment and honors the culture. When you take into account all that Riviera Maya Mexico has to offer, it is clear to see the importance of ecotourism.
