Maya Expeditions believes and supports low
impact travel and ecotourism, working with locally based organizations
and cooperatives. In 1987 we were pioneers in the adventure
travel and ecotourism business in Guatemala. Since 1990 we
have dedicated to training Guatemalan guides in the same intensive
manner, paying attention to safety and detail as we did within
our US operation. We now have over 10 local guides, important
to keeping the tourism in the hands of the local people; the
only ones who can really help conserve the rainforest. In
1994 we were awarded an International recognition as one of
the top 20 eco-outfitters of the world.
