Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve

The reserve spans 138,000 hectares of land, containing tropical dry forests, mangroves, coral reefs, and diverse coastal ecosystems along the Pacific coast.

The National Autonomous University of Mexico established a research station in 1971, leading to the area's designation as a biosphere reserve in 1993.

Indigenous communities near the reserve maintain traditional practices while engaging in conservation efforts through educational programs and sustainable resource management.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails throughout the reserve, with guided tours available through local organizations based in neighboring municipalities.

The reserve functions as an outdoor laboratory where scientists conduct extensive research on tropical dry forest ecosystems and migratory bird patterns.
