Real De Catorce Foundation

The Wixárika Route—recently recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site—is not just a cultural treasure, but a living, sacred landscape spanning over 600 kilometers and more than 150 sites essential to the spiritual and ecological balance of the Wixárika people. This milestone marks not an endpoint, but a profound responsibility: to ensure that this globally significant biocultural corridor is protected, understood, and stewarded for generations to come. Our aim is to empower Indigenous leadership, support meaningful community consultation, and lay the foundation for a long-term management plan that safeguards these sacred lands while fostering sustainable development. This is a rare opportunity to stand behind Indigenous stewardship and help secure the future of an irreplaceable cultural and ecological heritage..
