The island's southernmost tip, is known for its lovely reefs and spectacular cliffs (highest elevation in the Yucatan and home to an ancient Maya temple). These cliffs and their vantage points offer dazzling views of the island.

The Garrafón Park organization is very aware of the need to protect our environment. We have established a series of conservation programs and constantly promote efforts to make people aware of the need to conserve natural resources.

The park is actively involved in the preservation of local plant and wildlife species through efforts to minimize human impact on their habitats. We constantly monitor reef activity keeping tabs on the health and development of its inhabitants. The information we collect is added to a continually updated databank of photographic records used to catalog life-forms on the reef. We’re proud to say that with our help the reef’s biodiversity is growing.

Our conservation effort also takes in resident and migratory bird species. We have built feeding facilities for them and take care to use only environmentally friendly products. Care is also taken to control noise levels, especially during nesting season.

Our gardening team not only maintains the park’s outdoor appearance, they also actively protect its native plants. Special care is taken to avoid disturbing their natural cycles and in making sure that species used by birds for feeding and nesting are always available. The park has its own nursery whose plants are used in reforestation projects.
