Belize - The Toledo Ecotourism Association

The Toledo Ecotourism Association (TEA) is a group of Mayan and Garifuna villages located in the rainforest and other endangered eco-systems in the southern part of Belize.

The TEA operates guesthouses in ten villages (nine Mayan and one Garifuna) and its trained guides lead visitors on jungle tours, cave exploration, canoe trips and village tours.

  

Plenty has worked closely with the TEA since its inception in 1990, offering financial, technical, moral and volunteer support.

This support has included:

  • Management and marketing assistance
  • Networking both in-country and internationally;
  • Workshops in wood carving and mask making from already felled wood and/or selective harvesting;
  • Joint planning and implementation of an environmental education program focusing on bird monitoring and conservation.

The mission of the TEA. is to create jobs in the villages, keep tourism to a manageable level, and educate visitors about the beauty and value of the indigenous cultures and the environment that the native people inhabit. To meet these goals, the TEA has several programs.
