Best Mexico Eco Tourism Vacation - Trekking Adventure Among Indigenous Species

For me and many other people who are interested in adventure tourism, the best Mexico eco tourism vacation would be one that allows us to explore the country completely. I think that the plants and animals that are native to the area are best enjoyed on foot.

An ideal journey would allow visitors to trek across different parts of this country and get close to different habitats. I am interested in guided tours that would allow me to stop and take as many pictures as I want to. This facility is provided through photo safaris. These safaris are offered by several of the companies that cater to hikers in the area.

Monarch butterflies, bats, crocodiles and a host of other interesting creatures live in the tropical forests, deserts, sinkholes and caverns of Mexico. When your feet are tired of hiking you can swim in the underground rivers in Cancun and cool off, or relax in the picturesque Xel-Ha lagoon.

While some people come to Cancun and other parts of the country to do research, many adults and kids are there just to observe and enjoy the wildlife. Gray and blue whales frequent Mexican waters. So do pelicans, seagulls, sea lions, dolphins and other marine animals.

Mexico is home to a large number of endangered plant and animal species. I know that for this reason, it will be important to stick to whatever rules are laid out regarding how far humans can venture into certain habitats. There are more than 20 biosphere reserves in the nation. These are recognized by UNESCO and are designed to promote sustainable development.

People who like visiting parks to spend quality time with friends and family, reflect or observe nature can do so freely while on an eco tourism vacation here. There are over 40 Mexican National Parks, including Cumbres de Majalca, Bahia de Loreto and Costa Occidental de Isla Mujeres. Most of these, such as Costa Occidental de Isla Mujeres, have affordable accommodations nearby. Rooms which are listed on Hotwire.com start at USD $40.
