Protection of the inheritance and respect for the culture and local communities

It is intended to motivate tourists towards social consciousness to defend our cultural legacies and promote access to different rural communities in order to benefit them by using all their resources and contribute to their economical development.

Recommendations:

• Do not take any piece found on the surroundings, since it may be a piece of archaeological and cultural heritage.
• Respect the rights, customs, and values of the communities and their surroundings.
• Do not participate on illegal commercialization. Always buy crafts and products that have no regulation: coconut, legal wood, and natural fibers.

We recommend visiting the museums in the capital, San José, in order to learn more about the Costa Rican historical background. Here you can find some museums you can visit:
