Costa Rica
Costa Rica continues to lead in ecotourism. Every tour is designed to protect our ecosystems, support local communities and give you an authentic, deep experience. Travel with us and be part of the conservation of Pura Vida.
Around the World
We bring our values to new horizons. Our international packages are designed for the conscious traveler who seeks to explore the world responsibly. We collaborate with local guides and businesses to ensure your trip benefits the communities you visit.
Practices of a Conscious Traveler
Traveling consciously is a more meaningful way to travel, enriching both your life and the lives of the communities you visit.
Reduce your environmental footprint
- Travel light: Bring only what you need to reduce the weight of your luggage, which in turn decreases fuel consumption in transportation.
- Minimize waste: Avoid single-use plastics. Bring a reusable water bottle, a cloth bag for shopping, and your own personal care items.
- Be mindful of resources: Save water and electricity at the hotel. Turn off the taps, lights, and air conditioning when you're not in the room.
- Travel light digitally too: Carry your essential documents — such as plane tickets, itineraries, and vouchers — in electronic format.
Support the local economy
- Choose local products: Buy crafts, souvenirs, and products at local markets. This not only benefits artisans and merchants, but also lets you bring home a more authentic memory.
- Eat at local restaurants: Instead of international chains, look for family restaurants and cafes. It's an excellent way to taste local cuisine and support the community.
Interact with respect
- Be a tourist, not a colonizer: Avoid treating locals as tourist attractions. Ask permission before taking photos and show respect for their customs and traditions.
- Learn a few words: A simple "hello" or "thank you" in the local language can open many doors and show your interest in the culture that has welcomed you.
- Don't touch wildlife: If you're in a natural environment, keep your distance from animals. Observe, but do not interfere in their habitat.
