Tour Operators & Volunteer Organizations
Please explore some of our recommended tour operators and volunteer non-profits below:
Baja Expeditions
Pioneers in the adventure travel field since 1974, Baja Expeditions is also one of Mexico's oldest and largest eco-adventure and natural history expedition operators. Working hand-in-hand with Baja's local people, we design trips that focus on ecology, preservation and education, immersing you into the rhythms of Baja's nature and culture. Our intimate knowledge of Baja allows us to keep our itineraries flexible and spontaneous, taking into consideration possible wildlife sightings, group preferences and weather. Rise at dawn or sleep in late—our accommodating staff takes care of all the details— including cooking and most camp chores— so you can spend your time relaxing and enjoying each day's exploration.
Earthwatch
Earthwatch Institute is the world’s largest environmental volunteer nonprofit organization. Its mission is to engage people worldwide in scientific field research and education to promote the understanding and action necessary for a sustainable environment. Earthwatch was founded in Boston in 1971 and affiliate offices are based in the UK, Australia, and Japan. With approximately 120 projects fielding in more than 55 countries worldwide, Earthwatch focuses its research efforts on climate change, endangered species and resources, marine biology and ocean conservation, and threatened traditional cultures.
EcoTeach
EcoTeach is dedicated to providing travel experiences that combine education with conservation, and recreation with cultural awareness. We also intend to make travel as easy and as safe as possible. Since 1994, more than 5000 students, individuals and families from North America and the U.K. have traveled with EcoTeach to experience the culture and natural wonders of Costa Rica. In 2007, we will expand out offerings with trips to Mexico and Alaska. EcoTeach is not a family business, but it sure feels like one. From the personal care you’ll receive from our staff, to the hospitality you’ll enjoy with our farm families, and to the warm friendships you’ll develop with our guides and bus drivers you’ll sense a special kinship based on a strong commitment to the ideals of cultural exchange and ecological conservation.
Journey Mexico
At Journey Mexico we offer you a unique combination of remote adventure travel and cultural immersion that grew out of encounters we have had in our own personal globetrotting. With over twenty years of leading trips, teaching, paddling, hiking, and traveling, we have seen firsthand how travel transforms people's lives in incredible ways. The distinctive trips that we have put together take in some of the most spectacular natural sights that Mexico has to offer and explore the incredible history, archeology and culture that make Mexico one of the most fascinating countries in the world. Up-close wildlife encounters, in-depth exploration of archeological sites, visits to vibrant colorful markets and villages, travel through remote deserts, canyons and beaches, and unique, creative itineraries are all in a day's work with our expertly run company.
