Mangroves of San Crisanto

Explore restored mangroves with local guides and support a Mayan community leading conservation and sustainable livelihoods

OUR EXPERIENCES

Good Travel Experience: We invite you to discover San Crisanto, gliding peacefully along our hand-restored mangrove canals. Local guides share how our community rebuilt after hurricanes, overfishing, and disease. Experience our pioneering conservation work, carbon markets, and sustainable livelihoods, ending at Dzonot-Tzik, a sacred cenote for swimming in crystal-clear waters. This GTI-verified activity seeks real benefits for local communities and avoids negative impacts on nature, culture, and climate.

ABOUT US

The coastal Mayan community of San Crisanto, operated by the local ejido (common land property), turned adversity into a regenerative tourism model through resilience and collective action, focused on conservation and community-driven sustainability.

This Impact Partner was shared by the Good Travel Institute as one of their Good Travel Experiences. Each Good Travel Experience is evaluated through a clear and recognised framework, ensuring measurable social, cultural, environmental, and economic benefits for local communities. 

OUR IMPACT

Visitors directly support Mayan families and the preservation of vital mangrove ecosystems. The work demonstrates resilience, innovation, and hope, fostering sustainable livelihoods and environmental protection.
