Where we are based in Mexico
Our volunteer opportunities in Mexico take place in Guadalajara. Our Conservation Project is based in Cuyutlan.
Guadalajara
Guadalajara has winding cobblestone streets, gorgeous colonial architecture, and a serene urban area. While many of the images characterised as ‘Mexican’ have their roots here (like mariachi music), the modernisation of the city allows you to experience old and new, all within one city.
Cuyutlan
With its black-sand beaches, gentle waves, and laid-back attitude, Cuyutlan feels a world away from everywhere. This quiet beach town serves as the home of our Sea Turtle and Coastal Conservation Project.
