**For the Discerning Traveler**

Hey there! I’m Sara Renshaw, the proud founder of The Green Maya Project right here in Mérida, Yucatán, México. Originally from Los Angeles, I spent 15 years as a sustainability consultant before leaning into sustainable tourism to make travel more meaningful. México stole my heart long ago—now I get to share its magic with you. 🌿
With 20+ years of experience in Mérida’s tourism scene, I craft travel experiences beyond the usual. Let’s combine your style with my local know-how to create an unforgettable experience in the Yucatán.

Sustainable Travel with The Green Maya Project

Experience Yucatán through a curated lens—where comfort meets sustainability and every journey makes a difference. The Green Maya Project blends natural beauty, rich culture, and conscious travel for meaningful, unforgettable experiences.

Thoughtful Travel, Elevated

Our experiences are designed for discerning travelers who seek more than just a getaway—they seek meaningful connections with nature, culture, and well-being.

Sustainably Luxurious Accommodations

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

Immersive Natural Wonders

Experience Yucatán’s pristine landscapes authentically—sail through hidden lagoons, kayak among mangrove forests, and swim in sacred cenotes, all while encountering birds, wild animals, and the region’s flora and fauna. No artificial attractions, no tourist traps—just nature at its most alive.

Tailor-Made, Exclusive Itineraries

Escape the crowds with private, off-the-beaten-path experiences or enjoy exclusive VIP access to must-see sites during tranquil hours. Eco-friendly essentials—luxury biodegradable sunblock and insect repellent are included.

Digital Detox & Mindful Connection

Step away from the screens and into the present. Our retreats invite you to unplug, slow down, and create meaningful, lasting memories.

Gastronomic & Artisanal Excellence

Savor the region’s finest locally sourced, organic cuisine, dining in exclusive settings with Maya families or at top-rated restaurants.

Discover authentic craftsmanship—shop directly from artisans and support age-old traditions.

Ethical Wildlife & Cultural Engagement

No exploitation—we never support staged animal encounters or unethical wildlife interactions.

No wildlife souvenirs—we stand against products like seashells, coral, or ivory.

Cultural immersion—engage with local artists, musicians, and communities through intimate, enriching experiences.

Giving Back with Every Journey

Every experience you book directly contributes to mangrove reforestation efforts and supports Kookix Music School in Dzemul, Yucatán—empowering future generations through culture and conservation.
