Who we are?
We are Community Tours Sian Ka’an — a Maya-owned cooperative rooted in the heart of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Since 2000, we’ve been committed to offering regenerative hospitality experiences that protect our natural environment and celebrate our cultural heritage. As members of the local community, we have shifted from extractive livelihoods to becoming primary guardians of the land. Every journey we offer is crafted with respect, care, and a deep connection to our ancestors.
Our Impact: Purpose-Driven Hospitality
By choosing to visit with us, you are doing more than just exploring; you are directly funding our conservation and social initiatives. We proudly dedicate 20% of all our revenue to community-led programs that ensure the regenerative future of our biocultural custody territories. This active commitment allows us to sustain:
- Youth Education: Empowering over 250 Mayan children through ecological and ancestral awareness programs, including Birdwatching and the “Pequeños Guardianes” (Little Guardians) initiative.
- Regional Growth: Replicating our biocultural hospitality model across 12+ neighboring Mayan communities to promote sustainable economic development.
- Environmental Action: Organizing monthly beach and community clean-ups to preserve our pristine landscapes and shared spaces.
- Water Conservation: Conducting monthly water quality monitoring in our vital lagoon systems to protect the health of our aquatic ecosystems.
- Wildlife Protection: Operating a continuous biodiversity monitoring program to safeguard the extraordinary flora and fauna of the reserve.
When you join us, you help sustain our cooperative, support these vital conservation efforts, and become part of a movement that honors the sacred bond between people and nature.
