The Tlacoyunque stone is, at least, nationally known as a sanctuary, hence the justification lies in emphasizing the biodiversity and development from this site. Among the objectives, we consider a) synthesizing the physical and geographical features of the natural landscape and b) highlighting the use, resilience and sustainable of the current management of this purpose’s study. The geographical focus was the method we used to understand everything related to the resilience of the site. The results were: the characteristics of the tropical deciduous forest, crystal clear water, gentle waves, thick texture sand and 293 day-sunlight a year. The conclusions were: i) boasts important biodiversity that is nationally studied and recognized and ii) the use and current tourism management is successful because of its declaration as a Protected Natural Area which is dedicated to, among other activities, the environmental education for nearby visitors, national tourists, local people and foreigners as well as the scientific research.

It was proposed to conduct a study on sustainability indicators in indigenous communities with ecotourism. This study was conducted in the Mexican states of Chiapas, Veracruz, Campeche, Yucatán, Guerrero, Michoacán and Oaxaca. For data analysis of the pilot questionnaire, the factorial analysis to main components was used. The validity test of the questionnaire provided the elements for debugging the instrument for definite data collection. This was subject to access conditions, but mainly to the insecurity situation and local conflicts presented by the communities contemplated in this study. The results allowed defining the components of the indicators that help to conceptualize the sustainability in the indigenous communities with ecotourism.
