Community Involvement Initiatives
OUR IMPACT:
Travel with purpose: Every adventure you take contributes to the regeration of our planet and preserves the ancient cultures of Oaxaca and Mexico
At Coyote Aventuras we find inspiration in Comunalidad, an ancient system of communal collaboration existing in the majority of Oaxacan municipalities, which consists of four main pillars. Communal territory, communal organization, tequio and festivity. Our regenerative travel experiences organized on indigenous communal land are structured so that we leave sustainable economic stimulus to all Oaxacan communities where we operate.
We are guided by the principles of tequio, one of the oldest systems of cooperation and communal work. It derives from the Nahuatl word, (work or tribute), and its origins date back to precolonial times. However, in Oaxaca it has been transformed into collective governing structures where indigenous cultures preserve their sense of communal identity, maintain their traditions, and most of all, strengthen communal ties. Listed below you’ll find our community involvement projects:
Tequio Trails: Offering bike donations and workshops to make outdoor sports accessible to everyone.
- Caravana Canina: Implementing spay and neuter campaigns and fostering street dogs to combat animal abuse in Oaxacan communities.
Together, let’s explore the beauty of Oaxaca while empowering its vibrant communities.

TEQUIO TRAILS
Project Bike Love has donated over 140 bikes and safety equipment to 3 marginalized communities on the outskirts of Oaxaca. Our overarching goal is that outdoor sports become a more inclusive space empowering young people through healthy recreational activities.
Caravana Canina
We believe that the best long term solution to eliminate street dog neglect and abuse is population control via spaying and neutering. These procedures are at the core of our efforts; however, we also feed, vaccinate, deworm, foster and adopt dogs on a case-by-case basis in Mexico and Guatemala.
