Making a Difference

In addition to using environmentally-friendly operating rules, our agency is focused on selecting responsible providers and is developing a project to support small, local providers so that they can expand while respecting the principles of sustainability.

We support environmental and social projects in Heredia, our local community, and an association whose goal is the sustainability and the development of Costa Rica’s national parks. We also cooperate with a rural primary school and tourism micro-projects in the areas where we work.
