Green Pathways

Overview

Description

Green Pathways is a sustainable tour operator based in Nicaragua, offering tours that are inspired by the treasures of the natural world. From the jungle-fringed river of the Rio San Juan to the cool mountains of Jinotega, we have created eco-adventure tours of a lifetime to the most beautiful regions Nicaragua has to offer.

Green Pathways is much more than a tour operator; we are an association of people who are incredibly passionate about nature and committed to protecting it in every aspect of our work. We provide a high-quality service and a platform from which people can enjoy and be inspired by the beauty of Nicaragua. Our tours also focus on teaching and showing participants ways in which we all can play a role in preserving natural treasures for generations to come.

We invite you to join us on one of these incredible journeys through Nicaragua. From backpacking adventures to eco-luxury tours, we are sure to find a Nicaraguan vacation package that will suit you.

Making a Difference

Number of employees: 6

As a participant on one of our tours, you will contribute directly to conservation through a donation to the Pure Earth project, which was created with a goal to conserve the natural and cultural resources of Nicaragua. It has three main focuses:

Reforestation
In 2011, the Pure Earth project will begin a reforestation program in the Leon and Chinandega regions of Nicaragua.

Forest Conservation
Forests are the cornerstone of the climatic balance upon which we all depend. Therefore, we believe it is vital to protect what we already have. The Pure Earth project aims to protect primary rainforests on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua.

Local Conservation and Social Development
In collaboration with the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua, León (UNAN-León), the Pure Earth project's primary focus in 2010 is on conservation efforts within the Isla Juan Venado Reserve. Projects such as sea turtle conservation and mangrove reforestation are a high priority.
