Community Support as part of our Vision. Also Yours?
Traveling with a purpose
At MexiGo Tours, we believe that tourism is not only about discovering new places, but also about creating a positive impact on the communities we visit and call home.
Valladolid and the surrounding communities are home to wonderful people, rich Maya traditions and a strong sense of community. As a local tour operator, we feel it is important to give something back and contribute, in our own way, to the people, animals and projects around us
Supporting our local community
For several years, we had a small Maya Community Donation Program, mainly connected to our Go Maya experience. Thanks to the generosity of our guests, we were able to support local families with food, clothing and school supplies, help elderly people with items such as walkers, support families in difficult circumstances, and even provide beehives to a local beekeeper who had lost his bees.
These experiences showed us how even a small contribution can make a real difference. They also encouraged us to develop our community support program further and reach more people.
Today, we support established local non-profit organizations and community projects where contributions can have a direct and meaningful impact.
Helping stray dogs and cats
Another important cause for us is the welfare of stray dogs and cats in Valladolid.
Thanks to the dedication of local rescue organizations, the situation has improved over the years, but many animals still need help. Donations are mainly used to provide rescued animals with food, shelter, veterinary care, vaccinations and sterilization.
When possible, these organizations also help find permanent homes for rescued dogs and cats. Adoption is possible even for people living abroad, with the organizations assisting with the necessary arrangements and documentation for transportation

Donations are received in Mexican pesos and used locally. Whenever possible, food and other supplies are purchased from local businesses, helping support the wider community as well As part of our commitment to responsible tourism, MexiGo Tours adds an additional 3% to the community support fund for every donation made by our guests. In addition, 3% of the value of every Go Maya tour contributes to this fund. Would you like to get involved? If you would like to visit one of the organizations, learn more about their work or volunteer your time, please let us know. We will be happy to help you connect with them. Because we believe that traveling can be about more than seeing a destination. It can also be about leaving something positive behind.
