For me, the best Mexico eco tourism vacation would be one that allows me to explore the plants and animals that are native to the area without feeling rushed. It would be good to trek across different parts of this country and get close to different habitats.

Take Pictures of Wildlife

I am interested in guided tours that would allow me to stop and take as many pictures as I want to. This is provided by companies that offer photo safaris to hikers.

Monarch Butterflies, Bats and other Creatures

Monarch butterflies, bats, crocodiles and a host of other interesting creatures live in the tropical forests, deserts, sinkholes and caverns. When you are tired of hiking you can swim in the underground rivers in Cancun or relax in the Xel-Ha lagoon. Gray whales frequent Mexican waters. So do pelicans, seagulls, sea lions, dolphins and other marine animals.

Mexico Endangered Species

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.

Mexican National Parks

People who like visiting parks to relax or observe nature can do so freely, since 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 listed on Hotwire.com start at USD $40.
