Mexico Adventure

Popular demand means we have created an extra departure for Mexico on July 6th!

Community and Eco projects in rainforest villages

Outline Experience

• 3 days arrival/ brief
• 18 days project work in the Tuxtlas rain forests and a long weekend of rafting
• 6 days exploring Mayan culture
• 5 days on the Caribbean beaches
• 2 days as a tourist in Mexico City

The project phase of your Mexican adventure is in the special tropical biosphere reserve of Tuxtlas, some 140km southeast of Veracruz - a beautiful area with jungle, forests, hills, mangrove swamps and lakes. Here, several poor farming communities have to balance an awareness of nature with the need to secure the future of their communities by promoting sustainable development and eco-education.

You will play an important role in helping with this. You will live in a rural community (Las Margaritas, Lopez Mateos or Migual Hidalgo) that will really enjoy you living and working with them for 3 working weeks. They will welcome you sharing their way of life.
