Costa Rica Travel Information How to be a good ecotourist?
How to be a good ecotourist?

Here are a few simple guidelines:

How to be a good ecotourist?
  • Stay on the trails.

  • Leave nothing behind, except your footprints.

  • Don’t collect anything, including flowers, seeds and rocks.

  • Avoid disturbing wild animals, especially when they’re courting, nesting and feeding. Don’t feed monkeys or other wild animals. Observe nesting sea turtles only with a qualified guide.

  • Hire local guides, buy local crafts, patronize local hotels and restaurants, and support projects that benefit the local community.

  • Do not buy wildlife. Buy only handicrafts made from natural products that are commercially grown, or from a renewable resource, such as wood.

  • Be sensitive to the local culture and traditions, and willing to interact with local people, so that the tourism activity is a positive experience for everybody involved.

  • Support conservation programs.
By following these simple guidelines, you can help ensure that the areas you visit remain unspoiled for generations to come.
