Consider These Ecotourism Ideas for Your Visit
- Go bird watching – You can experience fantastic bird watching pretty much anywhere in Nayarit, including right here at your Mexican villa rental. That said, you’re also under an hour away from some of the top bird watching in the country, in San Blas. This is particularly true if you’re visiting in October through March. The city even holds a migratory birds festival at the start of the year and a bird count at the end of the year.
- Help newly hatched sea turtles – Several places along the Riviera Nayarit, as well as in Puerto Vallarta, there are centers that allow tourists to help biologists to learn about and release baby sea turtles in an interactive way. If you visit at the right time of year, you can even help to protect the baby hatchlings and to increase their chances of making it to the sea for improved survival. This has become an exceptionally popular option among ecotourism ideas.
- Visit the botanical garden – While you’re visiting Puerto Vallarta, about an hour and a half or so from the villa, visit the Vallarta Botanical Garden. There, you’ll see over 3,000 species throughout its massive collections within a nature reserve. It is also home to more than 100 different species of orchids.
- Take an eco-tour – One of the most obvious types of ecotourism ideas is to take an eco-tour. There are many options within the jungles as well as along the rivers in boats. La Tovara is always a great option because it exposes you to a wealth of different experiences. See some crocodiles, check out the birds, view the many different types of plants, all as you watch historic ruins and fascinating local towns go by.
