During our time in the Yucatan, we will participate in tours and activities that empower local and Indigenous communities by sharing their initiatives and sustainability efforts throughout the region. Everywhere we visit will be an opportunity to exchange ideas around anti-oppression and the development of host communities, and travelers.

 

During the week-long trip, participants will visit community-led tourism initiatives that showcase the rich traditions, culture, local and Indigenous history, as well as the essential biodiversity of the region. Some itinerary highlights include:

​

• Embarking on a guided boat tour of Isla Columpios, home to a rich mangrove system 

• Visiting the Maya community of Ek Balam, with the opportunity to visit archeological sites, cenotes, or activities like bike rides, hammock manufacturing, tortilla-making workshops

• Admiring crocodiles, flamingos and other fauna in their undisturbed habitat at the Rio Lagartos Biosphere Reserve, followed by a stroll through Las Coloradas, a site renowned for its stunning pink-hued salt flats, crystalline pink lakes, and picturesque landscapes

• Visiting Yokdzonot Cenote, a local women's cooperative that manages this thriving ecotourism park, where you can enjoy a Yucatecan cuisine cooking class and a refreshing swim in crystal clear waters

• And more!
