This luxury eco-resort lies nestled between the stunning Sierra Madres and the crystal-clear waters of the Pacific Ocean, amidst two estuaries, one created by the Juluchuca and the other by the Tuzal river. The 100% solar-powered eco-lodge opens up onto almost a mile of soft sand beaches intermingled with majestic dunes, lush wetlands, and palm groves. All of this sits against a backdrop of luscious green hills, which are part of an archaeological site that belonged to the village of Xolochiuhvan and served as an agricultural terrace (part of the ancient civilizations of Olmec, Mayan, and later the Aztec civilizations). The site practices permaculture, flora and fauna preservation, and offers outdoor activities from hiking, scuba diving and deep-sea fishing to bird watching and kayaking.

Turtle Sanctuary: Help the local trained community, aka La Tortuga Viva, to participate in the protection of endangered sea turtles. Guests can join them in collecting and counting eggs, then get them back to the sanctuary to re-bury them safely where they will be safe from predators. Guests may also help collect the just-hatched turtles when they emerge from their shells, and take them to the beach for release to their ocean home, watching over them so predators won't find them.

Estuary Expedition: By boat ("panga") or kayak, guests can tour the estuary, past mangroves, nests of cranes and tropical wildlife. Guests can bring their fishing lines!

Bird Watching: The estuary, the wetlands and oceanside are all home to thousands of bird species. A birder's paradise!
