Responsible tourism
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your vacation will help support conservation and local people.

Being ecologically responsible on a trip doesn’t mean sacrificing the quality of the stay nor the travel plans. It basically consists on planning the visit in a more conscientious way.
In Costa Rica the government designed a Certification where the level of commitment to Sustainability is qualified. This Certification is called CST. It is a program whose main purpose is to categorize and certify tourism companies based on administrative and operational considerations, and comparing them to an ideal model of sustainability. For this purpose, the companies are evaluated in a variety of areas.
Ecological/Environmental Impact:
We actively promote the use of energy-efficient equipment maximizing the natural light.
By keeping electronic files we minimize the use of paper; printing is only on recycled/reused paper.
Wastes produced by the company are properly managed on our recycling center and by our active participation in the recycling programs through the Municipality of Escazú.
Our operators promote the country as well as the importance of protecting the natural resources. They are a member of the Amigos de los Parques program, managed by Fundación Proparques.
Working with small groups of tourists to minimize environmental impact.
At the office and at our transportation units we use natural and biodegradable products.
Local naturalist guides educate passengers on the trip to be part of ongoing sustainable programs throughout the trip.
Feedback from guides and passengers is monitored closely.
In order to reduce the amount of plastic on board of our trips, we support the use of refillable water bottles.
