We offer your guests meaningful ways to engage and contribute.
At Costa Rican Trails, our commitment to responsible tourism is the cornerstone of our operations.
Sustainability is a practice. It’s something we intentionally strive to do and act on every day.
We’ve integrated solar panels at our headquarters and only use reusable glass bottles in our transfers to minimize our environmental footprint.
Our team has planted hundreds of trees and supports the Corcovado Foundation to contribute to Costa Rica’s reforestation efforts and national park care.
We participate in the DonaTapa project, collecting plastic bottle caps to construct accessible ramps on beaches and national parks, making these areas inclusive for people with disabilities.
We also support a kitchen in the Linda Vista community and host annual Christmas parties for orphans with our Costa Rican and Panamanian teams.
Did you know that this commitment extends to how we choose our partners?
We select our local partners for their unique approach to sustainability and their ability to offer your guests meaningful ways to engage with and contribute to environmental and community well-being.
We strive to keep the supply chain as local as possible. Because we know if our community thrives, we all thrive.

Your guests can visit to a local school and donate supplies for the children. They can make a positive impact by planting a tree in one of our conservation projects.
The ‘Pack for a Purpose’ Initiative
The “Pack for a Purpose” Initiative is a simple yet impactful program in Costa Rica and Panama that transforms the travel experience. You can invite guests to pack small items in their luggage, like new pencils, crayons, books, or a soccer ball. These might seem small, but they can brighten a child’s day.
It’s simple, but it means a lot. Your guests get to help out in a natural, hands-on way and get a more profound, more meaningful travel experience.
