The project
Lead your group on a two-part volunteering adventure in Mexico, combining youth education and wildlife conservation.
In Morelia, volunteers will run fun, creative workshops on sustainability and UK culture for local children.
Then, they’ll head to Guayabitos to support a sea turtle conservation project, helping to protect nests and release hatchlings.
The trip also includes cultural visits, Spanish lessons, and beach time, with all accommodation, meals, and transport arranged by local hosts.
Accommodation & food
Your group will stay in local hotels, with separate rooms for the leaders. Breakfast and dinner will be provided to the volunteers in the hotel restaurant. In Morelia, the group will either have packed lunch or eat at a local restaurant. The volunteers will be invited to try various local dishes.
In Guayabitos, the volunteers will be eating 3 meals at the hotel.
All disclosed dietary requirements and allergies will be provided for during the full project.
Location & leisure
Alongside your volunteering, a range of cultural activities and visits are possible. The project is based in Rincón de Guayabitos, a small beach town in the state of Nayarit, located within the stunning Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range and overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
This area is part of the Riviera Nayarit, known for its vibrant nature, relaxed lifestyle, and long stretches of coastline. From quiet beaches to surfing spots, there’s something for everyone
Project host
The project is organised by Vive Mexico, a long-standing organisation dedicated to creating meaningful volunteer experiences across the country. Since 2014, they’ve been hosting this successful conservation project in Guayabitos, working with local experts and biologists to protect the region’s sea turtles and raise awareness in the local community.
