095: Travel with Intention with Miguel Amar of Mexico Kan Tours

Today’s guest, Miguel Amar only stopped in Cancun to meet a friend before heading to Cuba fifteen years ago. And, like many people who visit the Riviera Maya, he fell in love with the culture, history, and nature of the area and never left. He currently lives in Tulum and facilitates sustainable tourism activities through the company, Mexico Kan Tours.     He and his business partners have a mission to promote conservation through tourism by allowing visitors to travel with intention. Their specially designed activities enrich, inspire and entertain those who want to experience the natural and archaeological wonders of the area.   Tours include boat trips through the Sian Ka’an Biosphere - A Unesco World Heritage Site, lunch with a local Mayan family to learn about the history and culture of the Mayan people and authentic, flavorful Yucatecan meals.  The organization also has a kitesurfing school, birding tours, and private cenote excursions.   Miguel’s ‘Picks’ — Unique tours visitors should not miss:   Cenotes — Learn the history and the importance of the caves along with the risks they are facing. Sian Ka'an — A World Heritage site. Enjoy water activities and take note of the abundance of species that call the biosphere home.
