Concierge for the discerning traveller

Hey there! I’m Sara Renshaw, the proud founder of The Green Maya Project right here in Mérida, Yucatán, México. Originally from Los Angeles, California, after 15 years as a sustainability consultant I dove into sustainable tourism to make travel more meaningful. Mexico stole my heart years back, and now, I get to show you why!
With over twenty years of experience running tourism businesses in Merida, I’ve got the insider knowledge to craft travel experiences that aren’t just trips—they’re tailored adventures just for you. Let’s explore the Yucatán Peninsula together, blending your personal style with my local connections to create something unforgettable.

Sustainably Luxurious Accommodations

Stay in handpicked 4- and 5-star eco-conscious resorts, boutique hotels, and private villas where elegance meets environmental responsibility.
