Set in the magnificent mountains of the Eastern Sierra Madre, and the most ecosystem-diverse natural protected area in Mexico, the Network of Ecotourist Lodges of the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve offer you the opportunity to see the innumerable natural, cultural, and scenic attractions of the area. You will be attended by Sierra Gorda Ecotours, whose personnel will consult with you to design the package that best suits your interests, and whose profits finance conservation activities in the region. We have eight distinct projects that include treasures like the last colony of green macaws in the impressive sinkhole Sótano de Barro, temperate and cloud forests in La Tinidad, La Arenita and San Juan each with endemic birds and kilometers of hiking trails, the magnificent views from Cuatro Palos and the impressive waterfall and cavern of Río Escanela. Each site has unique rural flavor because it is owned and operated by the local community. Our mission is to facilitate your discovery of the natural beauty and the local communities of the Sierra Gorda though ecotourism services which promote observation, learning, and participation in conservation. In 2006 we received the Tourism for Tomorrow Award given by the World Travel and Tourism Council.
