Where: <\/strong>Punta P\u00e1jaros, Mexico
When:<\/strong> year-round
If you like: <\/strong>conservation, the sporting life, the outdoors and sports<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why you should go: <\/strong>Casa Blanca<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>and Playa Blanca<\/strong> are sister lodges going all in on environmental initiatives in 2025. These are the only Yucat\u00e1n Peninsula lodges on a twenty-five-mile-long private island called Punta P\u00e1jaros, which lies between the renowned Ascension Bay and Espiritu Santo Bay in the heart of the Sian Ka\u2019an Biosphere Reserve. Work has already started to decommission diesel generators and convert the island to solar power, and the lodges have recently inked an agreement with Bonefish & Tarpon Trust to partner on conservation efforts around some of the region\u2019s famed fishing targets. The lodges are also remodeling a building to use as a field laboratory, office, and housing for scientists working in the area, and later, guides will tag caught bonefish and issue permits for research projects designed to shed light on spawning movements in and out of the biosphere reserve. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to be hangers-on when it comes to sustainability,\u201d says Juan Carlos Rodr\u00edguez Bush, fly-fishing manager for the two lodges. \u201cWe want to give back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

G&G tip: <\/strong>Casting flies to finicky fish isn\u2019t your thing? Then grab a beer or three and strike out for a night-fishing expedition from Casa Blanca\u2019s well-lit pier, which draws tarpon right under your feet.<\/p>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
