Travel that Changes Lives

Some journeys stay with you long after you unpack. They shift perspectives, deepen gratitude, remind us how profoundly the world can change us, and how our presence can change the world. At Pueblo Bonito Golf & Spa Resorts, this philosophy guides everything we do. Because for us, travel isn’t just about relaxation in one of the best places to travel in Mexico—it’s an opportunity to uplift communities, protect ecosystems, and create a legacy of kindness.

From Los Cabos and Mazatlán to San Miguel de Allende, our commitment to making a positive impact unfolds quietly and consistently through sustainability initiatives, local partnerships, and our long-standing collaboration with the Letty Coppel Foundation and Kind Traveler. Together, these efforts transform a simple vacation into something far more meaningful. They reflect a promise: travel changes lives, including your own.

At the center of our efforts is Pueblo Bonito’s commitment to our impact on the local landscape. Sustainability is woven into daily operations. Decades of environmental stewardship guide our efforts, from the independent desalination plants and water-recycling systems in Los Cabos that protect local aquifers and nourish our gardens, to the sea turtle conservation programs in Mazatlán and Los Cabos that invite guests to witness or participate in the magic of hatchling releases. Waste-reduction initiatives also take center stage, including a longstanding partnership with the San Miguel Blown Glass Factory, which transforms up to two tons of resort-collected bottles each month into handcrafted hearts and figurines made and sold by local artisans. Across our kitchens and operations, responsible sourcing—from sustainable seafood to regional produce, organic partnerships, and eco-friendly amenities—ensures that every stay treads lightly while elevating the guest experience.

In addition to these efforts, our nonprofit organization, the Letty Coppel Foundation, furthers our efforts to leave the world a little better than we found it. Founded by Letty Coppel, whose personal story is defined by resilience and dedication, the foundation has grown into one of the most influential forces for social good in the region. It is a nonprofit rooted in compassion, dignity, and the belief that well-being should be within everyone’s reach. Its impact reaches thousands of families, touching essential pillars of life through social assistance, community development, cultural preservation, and environmental stewardship.

The Letty Coppel Foundation’s efforts span every layer of community life, beginning with mobile medical units that offer free exams, mammograms, dental care, and essential screenings to underserved neighborhoods, along with community kitchens that provide meals for families in need and programs that support elderly individuals and people with disabilities. Its work continues through community-development initiatives that include vocational workshops, educational support, and infrastructure improvements designed to help individuals build sustainable livelihoods and create long-term generational change. The foundation also plays a vital role in cultural preservation and environmental stewardship through beloved efforts like the Sea Turtle Protection Program, which safeguards nests during nesting season so thousands of hatchlings can reach the ocean safely, while educational programs, summer camps, and heritage-focused activities keep local traditions alive and open new pathways for young people across the region.

Then there’s Kind Traveler, the world’s first socially conscious “give + get” travel platform, which turns vacations into opportunities for positive transformation. As partners in their Every Stay Gives Back program, Pueblo Bonito guests help fund vetted charities aligned with the United Nations’ Global Goals.

A stay at Pueblo Bonito helps keep these crucial programs running. Through our Every Stay Gives Back initiative with Kind Traveler, a $1 nightly contribution associated with your visit is designated to benefit the Letty Coppel Foundation, providing real resources for real families. It’s one of the simplest, most beautiful answers to the question many of us travelers wonder: how to change your life while changing someone else’s.

The philosophy is simple: When travelers have the chance to give back to the places we love, destinations thrive. Since joining forces, we’ve seen firsthand how small contributions collectively make lasting impacts, whether you’re on a single-night stay or enjoying an extended holiday.

Travel isn’t just about escape; it’s about connection. It’s about life-changing experiences that sometimes come in quiet waves and sometimes in powerful tides. And quite often, in both.

Book a vacation that gives back and experience beauty and purpose at every turn.
