We are Aluxes Ecoparque a non-profit non-governmental civil association based in Palenque Chiapas. Due to all the destruction of the ecosystems in the last couple of years Aluxes was created. The mission: ecosystemic rescue. To start more than 10, 000 trees were planted on the property along with other plants to complement and balance the new ecosystem that was being created, along with that process the natural wetlands on the property were rehabilitated and the lagoon system was reintroduced. This work gave way to a series of microclimates that allowed species of local flora and fauna to reemerge. Today there is an incredible amount of wildlife living naturally there, making the park a beautiful place full of life and color. We have a variety of projects to help our mission along, we are the first wildlife rescue center in the state, working alongside local authorities we help rescue and rehabilitate animals that have been victims of cruelty and trafficking.

The ruins get all the attention but this zoo is amazing! Beautiful animals everywhere, wonderful little walk through an amazing little park! And the animals all looked very well taken care of which is the most important thing!

This is not an action-packed attraction but WOW - if your timing is good, you can witness baby turtles being born right before your eyes, crawling out of their sandy nests & scrambling to get to the sea! It would be amazing to see the huge adult Ridley Sea Turtles haul themselves onto the beach to lay the eggs. It’s all about what time you & the turtles happen to be there. The area is under armed military guards (finally, a good use of military might!) and it is quite high security to protect the turtles & eggs. The workers here are deeply committed to their work and are more than happy to answer questions & tell you everything you could possibly want to know about sea turtles & other forms of local conservation. This is the kind of place I want to support with my tourism dollars! The trip was a lot farther from our hotel than we were originally told, but it was entirely worth it! If you love nature/animals, this is a must-do!

Lots of varieties of turtles to view, and educational for the entire family. Don't skip if you're in the area.
