Welcome to the Urban Sanctuary in South Texas!
Quinta Mazatlan is cherished locally and recognized internationally as a sanctuary connecting people to the history, beauty and wonder of our natural world. We work with partners to advance environmental education, eco-tourism and the environment for the health of all.
We are located in the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) of south Texas in the United States. The LRGV is not really a valley but a delta, or a fertile plain, that slopes away from the Rio Grande. The combination of climate, vegetation, and wildlife is unlike any other region in the United States.
With more than 95% of the Tamaulipan Brushlands converted to agriculture and urban use, our work is to “bring nature home"! The future of the environment depends on building stronger connections to nature. Get out and enjoy nature at Quinta Mazatlan!
