La Huasteca Nature Tour Itinerary
Welcome!
Goco Goes is dedicated to creating dynamic and immersive travel experiences that are affordable to anyone!
This is an itinerary for our member-exclusive La Huasteca Nature Tour will give you exclusive access to wild experiences exploring the tropical cloud forest, a true paradise within northeastern Mexico. La Huasteca is a sacred location to the Indigenous Huastec(Wahs-tec)/Téenek(Teh-eh-nek) people.
Our goal is to help travelers better understand the local host cultures and the natural living environments we interact with. To enjoy life abroad while also supporting the local economy as much as possible to prevent harm via supporting the tourism gentrification pipelines.
We do this by doing our best to only use locally owned and operating services and accommodations.
In turn, this also gives our guests an incredible authentic vibe. Because this type of travel can also be burdensome due to cultural and linguistic differences, our Host guides are there to help us bridge those gaps. We ask that you respect our host guides and their humanity and also enjoy your trip! Positive vibes and open-mindedness go so far in improving your general experience.
Enjoy!
This trip takes place in North-East Mexico!
We will explore the Southern Huasteca region, a tropical paradise with a diverse range of ecosystems including tropical cloud forests, pine forests, coastal mangroves and beaches, river canyons, cave systems, cave forests, waterfalls, and so much more.
