Supporting Local Communities in Costa Rica

If you're thinking of coming to Costa Rica, chances are you have beaches, palm trees, nature, national parks, volcanoes, sunshine, and wildlife on your mind. You know, all the good stuff that makes a vacation here so appealing! But there's also an addition to all that, a "secret sauce," if you will, that improves these commendable reasons to travel. And that's Costa Rica's reputation for ethical and sustainable tourism that gives back to local communities.

While other countries often recommend tourists stay within the compounds of their resorts when not on tour, Costa Rica is different.
