Costa Rica vacation

How this holiday makes a difference

Join one of our tours and know that your presence is making a difference to the conservation and protection of biodiversity in Costa Rica. Knowledgeable and friendly local guides/drivers enrich our experience, as no expatriate (foreign) guides or drivers are used. For every person joining one of our eco-tours, a contribution is made to the Costa Rica Conservation Foundation, which is purchasing land to make wildlife corridors from the high-altitude Cloud Forest down to the coastal rainforests.

Also, you get to meet one of the biologists from the Costa Rican Conservation Foundation, who can explain their work, and explain their efforts to create corridors for altitudinal migrants like the Resplendant Quetzal and the Three-wattled bellbird, two charismatic bird species that spend part of the year in the Cloud Forest and part of the year along the coast.

You may even get to participate in one of the tree-planting events that the Costa Rican Conservation Foundation organizes as they work to turn farmland and pasture back into native forests-lands.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


Visiting the cloud forest in Monteverde, observing beautiful wildlife in its natural habitat. One of the most beautiful countries we have visited with very friendly people. The provision of our own driver and tour director made sure all our needs were met and everything went smoothly.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Avoid the Easter Holy week, if possible. It gets very busy with local holidaymakers. Follow the helpful guidance provided by the tour operator. Avoid Miami International Airport for transfer flights at all costs (we experienced missed connections both going out and returning). I would not recommend American Airlines for service and efficiency.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


I believe so - opportunities could be provided for greater contribution (eg spending an afternoon assisting with rainforest conservation).

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


Excellent - would certainly visit Costa Rica again.
