Geography

La Jolla de Cortes beach is one of Mexico's hidden gems. The private development by Vedanta Capital Group features seven miles of white-powder light-blue water beach front, located in the middle of the Sonora desert, surrounded by the mountains to one side, and the ocean to the other. Throughout the day beach-goers can watch the massive ebb and flow of the estuaries, creating a natural, ever-changing peninsula. [http://grupomayan.com/la-jolla-de-cortes.html] Fish, shrimp, squids and other local animals are revealed as the tide reaches its lowest point. Outlying sand bars create small islands.

Environmental Leadership

La Jolla de Cortes mega resort, as with other Grupo Mayan proyects, will care for the environment. Part of the 25,000 acre development is an estuary known as La Pinta. This body of water measuring over 1,732,605.93 m2 has a massive ebb flow twice a day that allows for the creation of wildlife and marine life.

This section of La Jolla de Cortes has been proposed as an Ecological Conservational Area, which includes the future implementation of a scientific research project that incorporates, among other activities, monitoring rattlesnakes (Crotalus cerastes), tracking migratory birds, fostering nesting habits of oxpreys or the Fish Eagle (Pandion haliaetus ), and the Burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia), with this last species being of great importance because it is in danger of extinction, according to the Mexican Official Norm NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2001. [http://www.mayanresorts.org/profeco.htm]

La Jolla de Cortes will feature Grupo Mayan properties, which are usually certified as caring for the environment by Green Globe. [http://grupomayan.com/environmental-leadership.html]
