CR Zona Azul FAQs

Eco-Tourism Experience

What we have found is most successful is scheduling 3 days in a week for a 1/2 day or Full Day tour.

We can accommodate any interests, such as a week of tours every day, connecting you with a hotel discount, but we've learned a few things that suggest most vacations are happy with the freedom to change plans mid-week, and to have number of options to choose from, location, hotel, and tour experience wise. We will work with you, but our service is delivering a tour special to Costa Rica with an experience that highlights the relationship with nature.

Concierge Service, a life-affirming Experience

What is concierge service in an Eco-Tour? A few things personalized to what you share are the key interests to experience during your time with us.

Where to stay?

Tilajari Group Hotels are our partner, and have a number of locations, depending on if you want to stay in Guanacaste or Central Valley.. Referred by us includes a discount with a luxury eco-friendly hotel.

Insect repellent, comfortable outdoors clothes, shoes you don't mind getting scuffed.

Why go with an Eco-Tour Guide?

From the Wall Street Journal

There is a personal and public and environmental benefit to booking a group tour or private tour with a responsible tour operator guide

Responsible tour guides steer their guests visitors to the area away from over tourist areas and tourist traps and use their specific particular local knowledge to support small businesses that offer better values and are off the beaten path says tourism asset management sustainability program at Cornell university

To feel good about selecting an eco-tour, do you want a company that shows you how they’re measuring the impact of travel and their tours. This is a very important area where the consumers very on tour will have an impact or benefit on the environment and local way of life and economy

The Great Outdoors

If known for nothing else, Costa Rica is world-famous for its warm, sunny weather, long stretches of beautiful beaches and an extensive mosaic of national parks, nature reserves and protected lands. 25% of the country is dedicated to national parks. Costa Ricans have long understood the need to protect the ecological biodiversity that makes this country unique. The result is limitless opportunities for those who love the great outdoors.

From local Costa Rican cuisine to artisan crafts to traditional customs and celebrations, sustainability is embedded deeply in the culture and traditions of Costa Rica.

Costa Ricans are proud to live among and protect their country’s rich environment, as this small nation holds five percent of the world’s land-based biodiversity and 3.5 percent of its marine life.
