Ecotourism is big in Costa Rica. This is, after all, a country that harbors some 5 percent of the planet’s total biodiversity and is spread thick with forests, mountains, rivers, and oceans. At its root, ecotourism involves exploring outdoor areas and learning about nature. It brings people outside (to tropical rainforests and active volcanoes, for example), connecting them with a particular place and the wildlife. Eco-activities include hiking, rafting, bird watching, snorkeling, scuba diving, and marine mammal observation. By their very nature, these activities are educational. On a guided hike through the rainforest, for example, you might learn about the structure of the forest canopy or the medical uses for tropical plants. While on a whale watching tour, you may learn about the migration patterns of humpback whales or how climate change is affecting coral reefs. Eco-travelers often stay at ecolodges in rural outdoor areas that provide immediate access to nature. The emphasis here, as with all forms of ecotourism, is on the outdoors. Most ecolodges allow you to step out of your room and have instant accesss to the countryside. It’s pretty cool. By connecting people with the environment and teaching them about nature, ecotourism helps impart important environmental lessons. As such, ecotourism involves important aspects of sustainability and conservation. Want to learn more about ecotourism in Costa Rica? Click here: http://goo.gl/ASFb0P.
