Mexico to Costa Rica holiday

As a global tour operator, we are committed to ensuring our tours are run in a responsible and sustainable manner, with the impact on the environment and local communities a high priority. We have a strict responsible travel which is closely followed by office staff and on the road tour leaders. This is relayed to customers on day 1 of the tour and they are asked to ensure they make small everyday changes to their travel habits that will ultimately have a greater impact on the environment. This varies from ensuring all litter is disposed of properly and recycled where available, requesting that their towels and bedding are not changed unnecessarily, using a reusable water bottle to avoid over purchasing plastic bottles and being mindful of water consumption with showers. Customers are sent their tour information in a PDF form and asked that they do not print it off and waste paper.

Our small group tours mean the impact on the environment is kept to a minimum, with a maximum of 19 people, and an average of 12 to 14 passengers per tour. This means smaller hotels that cannot host large coach tours benefit from our stay.

This 16 day adventure tour uses a mixture of local and private transport to get from A to B. Ultimately, using the local transport infrastructure is the best way of travelling within a country, as it limits road congestion and keeps your overall emissions low.

This tour visits many sites of natural wonder and beauty, including San Ignacio, the ancient site of Tikal, Flores, Antigua and Manuel Antonio National Park in Costa Rica. Customers are asked to respect these places of interest, ensuring no litter or waste is left behind and natural materials are not taken or disturbed. When in Monteverde Cloud Forest and Manuel Antonio National Park customers are asked to stick to marked walkways and paths, not to disturb the flora and fauna and to keep a respectful distance from any wildlife that they encounter.

From 2018 we made the step to drastically limit the company's paper waste by stopping brochure production. This has saved thousands of paper brochures from ending up in landfills each year. Instead we ensure online information is kept up to date at all times with various inspirational pages for clients to look through.
