QUINTANARROENSE
PROUDLY
Xcacel is a sanctuary where every year around 200,000 white and loggerhead turtle hatchlings are released, it hosts a large variety of protected flora and fauna, and it's a place where everyones' cooperation makes us feel proud because the sum of every effort shows us visible results.
Xcacel's model seeks to demonstrate what can be done with collective participation with organization, no matter nationality, culture or any other characteristic. At Xcacel, nature is the great equalizer.
If you come to Xcacel, it is important that you come knowing that we will need your participation to clean, to learn, to help, to take care of the fauna and flora and take care of one another.
