LOCATION
Rincon de Guayabitos, also known as Guayabitos, is a beach town located in the
astonishing Sierra Madre Occidental, in the state of Nayarit and bathed by the waters
of the Pacific Ocean. It is a popular tourist destination due to its proximity to the cities
of Tepic, Guadalajara and Puerto Valarta.
LASURE TIME
Riviera Nayarit is emerging as one of the most attractive and magic destinations of
Mexico. The area extends approximately 300 kilometers along the coast, integrated
by mountainous jungle and facing coastal islands. For those seeking a more rural
and rustic experience with magic beach towns in Mexico, the Riviera has a massive
open space for everyone along the Nayarit coast.

Project hosted by

Vive Mexico has been organizing this workcamp regularly in Rincon de
Guayabitos, Nayarit since 2014. The main achievement of the project is to
protect the sea turtles with the help of volunteers who will be cooperating with
a team of biologists. Up to now, the project has been quite successful and has
reached extraordinary results. Participating in sea turtle conservation is a great
opportunity to discover the rather charming life of sea turtles.

Map

Work

This international camp will take place at the Padre Tembleque Aqueduct, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important 16th-century hydraulic engineering works in Latin America. Built through the collaboration of Indigenous communities and the Franciscan friar Francisco de Tembleque, this monument stretches for more than 45 km across the central Mexican plateau, its monumental arches near Zempoala being among the tallest Renaissance hydraulic structures outside of Europe.

The project's main objective is to contribute to preventive conservation efforts on the Hidalgo section of the aqueduct, promoting community participation, cultural exchange, and international cooperation. All tasks will be carried out in coordination with local authorities and under the specialized technical guidance of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), so no prior experience is required.

Volunteer Activities
Volunteers will take an active role in protecting the cultural landscape through the following actions and fieldwork:

Cleaning and Beautification of the Environment: Removal of trash and debris, and general cleaning of the areas near the aqueduct structures, including graffiti removal to restore the visual value of the surroundings.

Environmental Maintenance: Control and removal of invasive vegetation that could endanger the historical structure.

Reforestation and Natural Barriers: Planting agave plants as a boundary and natural protective barrier for the site, reviving traditional rural practices.

Documentation and Community Engagement: Photographic and documentary record-keeping of the intervention areas, as well as active participation in workshops and heritage awareness activities with local communities.

Accomodation and food

Accommodation will be in a house provided by a local family and will include everything necessary for your stay and hygiene. Volunteers will assist with food preparation for cultural activities.

Location and leisure

Awareness-raising activities will be conducted with the local population about the importance of protecting their cultural heritage. In addition, recreational activities will be organized at the end of each day, and there will be rest days during which participants can visit important sites in the region.
