Rooted Experiences with
Nature, Science & Community
Aguacea creates experiences where science, local culture, and community come together to care for Baja California Sur’s ecosystems. From youth-led education to snorkeling safaris and citizen science, our work connects travelers, biologists, and local communities around a shared mission: protecting coastal ecosystems by empowering those who live closest to it.

COMMUNITY-BASED PROJECTS
Sharing the sea with those who call it home
We believe coastal communities should be the ones who benefit most from their sea — through sustainable fishing, thoughtful tourism, and the care of their own ecosystems. We work hand in hand with them through three key projects to contribute to local effort in caring for Baja’s waters and building sustainable futures.
Guardianes del Mar
Empowering ocean-passionate local youth (13-22 y.o) with skills in marine monitoring, safari guiding, and ocean care
Corales vivos
Nature-based education year-round program in fishermen community schools (6-12 y.o), reconnecting kids with their home environment
Fishermen partnership
Collaborating with local fishermen to develop alternative, sustainable incomes through tourism
By joining our tours, you help make this impact possible !
We also welcome more support to expand our programs, meet the growing interest from local kids, and bring new ideas to life.
WHO WE ARE
Aguacea is more than just a tourism company.
I first lived in Mexico over ten years ago. I fell in love with its wild landscapes, its people, and its culture — and promised myself I would return.
After studying social sciences and natural resource management, and spending over five years working on circular economy projects with naturalists, NGOs, and community-led initiatives (mostly in the mountains), I settled in La Ventana in 2022. My goal: to explore how tourism could become a local, community-based lever for marine conservation.
Over the past three years, I’ve grown attached not only to Baja California’s incredible marine and desert biodiversity, but also to its fishing culture (strange for a vegetarian, I know). I’ve started to understand conservation and social issues not only through NGOs, but also through the eyes of native locals — learning from both local knowledge and scientific research.
Aguacea Explora is my small way of adding a stone to the building: using tourism and nature-based education to protect ecosystems, raise awareness, and make local communities the main beneficiaries and guardians of their territories.
Today, Aguacea is shaped by everyone who takes part in the project — fishers, scientists, travelers, guides, volunteers, and local youth.
