About the project
MEXICO - Natural Park Apizaquito
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
This workcamp will be organised by the Youth Institute of the Municipality of Apizaco.
💼 What the programme involves
Within the municipality, there is a lack of outdoor areas dedicated to recreational, social, cultural and sports activities. The objective of the project is to construct the “Parque Anden”, a new area of recreation and a source of oxygen for the people of Apizaco. This park is situated at the heart of the city of Apizaco, and it is the only one of its kind in the state.
The project includes activities such as the construction and rehabilitation of the area, reforestation of the place, support in environmental awareness programs and space diffusion.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Food and hosting will be provided during the workcamp.
📍 About the location
The state of Tlaxcala is a hidden gem. It is only a two-hour ride from Mexico City and thirty minutes from Puebla. Apizaco is situated in the state of Tlaxcala, a thirty-minute ride from the capital, which is also named Tlaxcala. “Apizaco” comes from Nahuatl, the local ancestral language. It stems from the words “ATL” (water), "pitzāhuac" (thin, smooth), and the suffix "co" (local). It has a small colonial downtown with a large student population, good restaurants, and cafes with a vibrant cultural life. As it is not far from the states of Mexico and Puebla, volunteers can travel to both locations by bus and discover their beauties.

🎒 Leisure activities
During their free time, volunteers can spend time in Tlaxcala, which is the capital of the smallest state of Mexico.
ℹ️ Additional information
(Important) Due to the situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, we would like to remind you of some security measures that will be taken during the camp:
- Each volunteer will wear their face mask (they need to bring them to the camp), which will be used in the areas indicated by the health protocols, for example in the public spaces;
- The social distance will be maintained in the public spaces, except between the members of the work team;
- Volunteers will respect and pay attention to the additional instructions implemented by the coordinator of the camp regarding preventive protocols against COVID-19.
Please, remember that these measures aim at protecting us as much as they intend to protect others. We call upon volunteers to have a look at the travel requirements to go to Mexico on the following website: https://www.traveloffpath.com/mexico-covid-19-entry-requirements-for-travelers/
