Families work toward conservation by offering a number of tourism services.

They also have a commitment to conservation, breeding crocodiles for release into the wild and reforesting the mangroves. Tourists can participate in nighttime patrols to collect turtle eggs and save them from hunters.

FLORA AND FAUNA

Canoe trips make it easy to view the diversity of birdlife, including the carpenter bird, kingfisher, pato buzo and an immense variety of herons, as well as reptiles such as crocodiles and iguanas in their natural habitat.

The next place to visit is the vivero, an invaluable aid for the reforestation of the swamp.


VISITING?

LOCATION -- La Ventanilla is located 264 kilometers (164 miles) west of Oaxaca City. It is near to Puerto Escondido, Puerto Angel and Mazunte.

Travel!

TRANSPORTATION -- First, one basic orientation tip -- almost all roads to La Ventanilla pass through Pochutla! The trip from Pochutla to Ventanilla takes 20 minutes. There are frequent collective vans heading to Mazunte which can drop you off 1 kilometer away. The less frequent (about every two hours) collective 'La Ventanilla' provides direct transportation.

LODGING -- La Ventanilla has camp sites, basic rooms and cabins.

FOOD -- A cooperative-run restaurant serves healthy food at Maiz Azul.
