As one of those students, I jumped at the opportunity to take an eight day trip to meet and help people in Huatulco, Mexico, located on the country\u2019s southern Pacific coast. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the first morning of the trip, May 1, our departure started early<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7 a.m. A two hour flight from Miami to Mexico City with a three hour layover, followed by a six hour trip from Mexico City to Huatulco was a mix of exhaustion, overwhelming feelings and bursts of excitement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon arrival, Sue McClam, our guide, gave the group a short, Spanish lesson that would help us speak to people of the region. That night we cheered after enjoying our first authentic Mexican dinner and returned back to the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">posada<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a family owned inn. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next few days consisted of visiting different destinations, including the Hagia Sofia Agro-Ecological Development Center, national parks, the indigenous coastal village Barra de la Cruz, and an indigenous village located more inland called Derramadero.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a mission to be more than tourists, we spent days learning about the real situation in Huatulco. We became aware of the government\u2019s plans to build hotels and destroy natural landmarks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our group met The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Green Team, an organization that focuses on helping Huatulco stay the leading sustainable tourism community in the world. To assist, we went up to the mountains near the Derramadero region and planted anti-erosion grass along the border of a school.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later that day, we sat down with the school children to teach them words in English using toys and pictures. Being involved with the children was not only fun but rewarding. When we left they were all happy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teaching English wasn\u2019t all we did. When our group went to Barra de la Cruz, along the coast, we plucked vegetables and picked up egg cartons, shoes, and ripped clothes from the beach. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of my favorite days was when we visited the agro-ecological botanical garden, the Hagia Sofia. The garden is 333 acres but only 33 are in use. Mountains roll over each other and reach up to kiss the beautiful blue sky. Hummingbirds flew around us, creating the sound of a mini motorcycle zooming by. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We observed debates on different topics about the environment from the green team. It was interesting to see the perspective they had \u00a0on agriculture. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On day seven, we visited an eco-archeological park and got the chance to see different archeological sites. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we said our goodbyes on the eighth day, I felt different. We knew what it took for a city to become sustainable. Now that we have that knowledge, we\u2019re capable of so much more than when we first stepped foot in Huatulco.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For six students, an eco-tourism and sustainability trip to Mexico was more than a way to participate in service activities in rural bay areas while learning sustainable and cultural perspectives.
