Ecotourism, a growing trend in Quepos

What is Ecotourism?

Authentic ecotourism represents a viable option for the conservation of the natural and cultural heritage of peoples, while promoting the notion of sustainable economic development. In Quepos, this trend has been growing in recent years and more and more people are committed to the conservation of natural resources and the environment.

What is the composition of ecotourism?

Traveling through natural areas without disturbing them, in order to enjoy, appreciate and study both its natural attractions (landscapes, flora and fauna) and the cultural manifestations that can be found there. In Quepos, in addition to the Manuel Antonio National Park, there are additional private protected areas where other activities can be found like canopy, horseback riding, rappelling, and rafting, among others.

How is ecotourism distinguished from nature tourism or adventure tourism?

To be considered ecotourism, this must involve:

• Minimal impacts on the environment.
• Active participation of local communities.
• Education for conservation.
• Maximize the economic spill in the community.

By becoming a means of living to meet their economic needs, ecotourism educates and encourages communities that inhabit sites with exceptional natural wealth to become their most ardent advocates.
