In an effort to reverse the effects of global warming and deforestation in the jungle areas of the country, Mexico has embarked on an ambitious effort to plant 280 million trees in 2008. On one recent weekend alone, cooperative efforts were directed toward breaking a world record by planting 300,000 trees in just one weekend. This is great news for people who are considering buying real estate in Mexico.

Mexico’s commitment to plant 280 million trees is indicative of the investment that the government is making in Mexico. Tree planting is central to Mexico’s plan to rejuvenate the countryside, and protect and preserve the jungle areas that make Mexico so special.

Mexico’s commitment doesn’t end there. In tourist areas, Mexico is also committed to building infrastructure that will both support large populations and discourage sprawl. Puerto Vallarta is the beneficiary of many of the first infrastructure improvements. Right now, a new major highway is under construction that will connect Jalisco’s main cities of Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, and Tequila with Zacatecas. This highway project, when complete, will ensure that there is appropriate highway access to Jalisco’s capital and its major tourist attractions.

Other infrastructure improvements include refurbished marine terminals, a new international airport terminal, new hospitals, a new convention center that will open in October, new bridges and more. This investment has prompted a growing number of luxury developments, new golf courses and a host of services designed to assist tourists, residents and would-be residents alike.

If buying real estate in Mexico is part of your plan, consider buying in areas that are close to major tourist centers like Puerto Vallarta. You can find exclusive, investment-grade parcels of land that overlook the Pacific Ocean. In just a few years, these parcels will be unavailable, except as developed properties on the open market, and the infrastructure investments being made right now will only enhance the value of these properties in the coming years.
