The 201st Batallion served great purpose on World War II when it flew along side the 58th Operations Group of the 5th Air Force of the United States Of America. Provocation was made by the German army when they took down five oil tankers from May 13th to September 4th, 1942when mexican president, Manuel Ávila Camacho, decided to declare war on the Axis forces on May 28th of 1942. That is when the 201st Batallion came to life and fought along side the U.S. army on the liberation of the island Luzon on the Philippines. The 201st Batallion had 96 combat missions and provided great help in the final portion of WWII. We invite you to visit the 201st Batallion and Dune Buggy Adventour on Cozumel Island!

Watching out for Mexico’s Protected Natural Areas
Global warming is an issue that involves all of mankind. At Dune Buggy Adventour we believe that watching over our planet is the way for us to move forward to create a better tomorrow. Mexico’s biodiversity is one of the world’s largest and must be taken care of as we are host of over a 47,000 species of plants and animals. This is why we take extreme care of our protected natural areas. One of them is the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, that is part of the World Heritage Center of the UNESCO. Home of the monarch butterfly, this natural reserve watches as millions of butterflies fly from North America to the north-west forest of Mexico City. There they stay until spring when they make an 8 month migration to Canada where 3 or 4 successful generations are born. Another one of the most important natural reserves is the Loreto Bay National Park in Baja California Sur. This natural area is home to 30 different sea mammals species that make up 75% of the whole sea mammal population of Mexico. Down in Cozumel we have the Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park which is part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System that is the 2nd largest coral reef system in the world. This is home to the endangerd species including the sea turtles. We invite you to visit these Natural Areas to see for yourself the importance of them for our planet.
