Mérida, Yucatán, (December 11, 2021).- Last Wednesday, December 8, the first multimedia biocultural tourism guide in Mexico was released, in which four experiences offered in Yucatan were considered for their originality and care for their roots, as well as for being generators of sustainable tourism.
“We know that Yucatán is an endless destination and is one of our best manifestations about what biocultural tourism means, with what they have achieved and offers, we are sure that they are and will be the protagonists of this new era of tourism in Mexico,” highlighted Alonso Vera, better known as “Pata de Perro”, a prominent opinion leader in tourism, expert traveler, producer, and driver, among many other hobbies, who had the initiative to generate this guide, after three years of research, where he visited the 32 states of the Republic and documented nearly 500 life experiences, creating photographic and audiovisual editorial content, based on the voice of local hosts.
About these Yucatecan experiences that enrich and complement this first guide, Pata de Perro commented, “We wanted to highlight four Yucatecan experiences, which we think have all the components to boast about what makes Mexico a destination worth visiting.” .
Specifically, in Izamal, the first Magic Town in Mexico, which has a history and an incomparable beauty, with wonderful gastronomy and infrastructure and private investment that highlights its benefits, it was integrated into the category of “Magic Hands of the masters of popular art ”, Two of which have workshops open to the public, the teacher Gabriel Pérez Casanova, woodcarver and Maestro Esteban Abán Montejo, who works with henequen thorn and Cocoyol, with the name Visiting workshops and walking between yellow walls.
Maní, one of the four Magical Towns of Yucatán, who recently obtained the appointment as Best Tourism Village by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), for its good tourism practices, being its cultural and heritage preservation a world example of sustainability, It is also part of the outstanding experiences of this guide in the category: “Trips that mark the future”.
In the same category, Spend the night on a hacienda to benefit the community. The haciendas as extraordinary heritage derived from a very emblematic time for the Peninsula, the effort that has implied restoring and conditioning them as luxury hotels – which present luxury to us in a very different way, as something authentic, which directly impacts the communities and that when we stay and consume products associated with these haciendas in some way we vindicate what they were at one time and giving them a new light for the rescue of herbalism, popular art and the dignity of the work that young people do in serving the most high-quality standards that seek other types of alternatives and the Hacienda Santa Rosa de Lima and the Puuc Route are an example of this.
The fourth experience, within the category “Priceless experiences,” highlights Diving in a cenote with Archaeologist Guillermo de Anda, through the cenotes, which are the gateway to the Mayan worldview but also to the water reserves that overlook life to the wonderful ecosystems of the Peninsula, – try to draw attention to the importance of knowing how to appreciate them for what they are, as sacred sites that must be visited, because tourism facilitates conservation through economic spillover and also raise awareness of the treasures that they protect, there is a whole archaeological and paleontological world that we did not even imagine – concluded Alonso Vera, ‘Pata de Perro’.
