Search For the Largest Cat in the Americas

You also get the chance to see other creatures in the region such as deer, tapir, bats and the amazing hanging boas in the caves of Kantemo.
This is an amazing opportunity to explore another side of Mexico, far away from mass tourism. Discover this authentic ecotourism experience and learn how human beings could help these animals.
