With all the weather-related disasters in this world today, eco-friendly travel is becoming the way to go, in a strong effort for environmental sustainability. Various efforts are being made by hotels to recycle, conserve energy and water. Installations collect solar energy and cisterns are used to collect rainwater. In fact, many hotels in Mexico are being designed purely to be environmentally friendly. Some properties also offer activities where visitors can experience nature without any negative impact. Mexico is concerned about the number of visitors on its beaches and in the jungles of the country. Conservation of the biodiversity is a must while making eco-friendly places comfortable and safe for visitors. The following is a selection of eco-hotels in Mexico. Scroll below to make your choice.
