Some reasons I go through them: They are truly interested in the environment (the Eco- component). They don’t merely “greenwash” – i.e. present a facade of concern for the environment. Their guides are well educated and knowledgeable—this includes adventure activities, the environment, Mexican history, Mayan history and culture. They also are good with dealing with Americans. They are a small Mexican company. This is in keeping with the goals of alternative tourism, which is to help the local people and economy. Instead of the money going to the large hotels, and then to the U.S., or Europe, the money stays in Mexico, helping small Mayan villages, natural areas, or various ecotourism sites. They are extremely knowledgeable about the Yucatan. They are constantly seeking out and discovering new areas.
