Mexico can offer more than just the traditional sun and sand beach holiday, with eco-tourism in the county on the rise.

The country sees eco-developments as a way to encourage tourism at the same time as protecting the environment and creating jobs in poorer, rural areas, reports the San Jose Mercury.

Speaking to the paper Eduardo Chailldo of Mexico’s tourism board said: “We want to change the perception of Mexico that it is just sun and beach.”
He added that the country was working with various bodies to promote its wildlife attractions.

Mexico offers a variety of attractions including jungle tours, trips to areas of geological interest – Cenotes – and visits to the ancient ruins dotted across the country (see Mexico hotels Mayan).

The country shares borders with the USA to the north and Guatemala in the south.

It has a varied climate, with a hot and humid coastline but a drier, more temperate central area.Source:holidaylettings.co.uk
