Group Tourism in Catemaco
Various interest groups have a home in Catemaco and schedule regular trips and events. If one of these
organizations is to your taste please contact their Website.
El Huerto Ecoclub
El Huerto Ecoclub is the forerunner of the ecotourism bus tours
from Mexico City. This is a private venture devoted to
environmental education, occupying several acres on Laguna
Catemaco, about a mile south from the city. It specializes in
annually hauling more than 600 young people from the Mexican
upper classes to Catemaco and teaches them to sail and to
appreciate their environment.

Supposedly owned by a French expatriate former sailing
champion, the club also owns a temazcal installation near the
Catemaco Hospital, and also provides organized tours to other
parts of Mexico and Europe. Most locals hardly know about the
club, except for the small colorful sails occasionally cheering up
Laguna Catemaco.
