SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL IN COSTA RICA

Dear guest, you are within the National Wildlife Refuge Maquenque, where conservation and protection of our natural resources is a pillar for sustainable development of our community of Boca Tapada, at this small town we give a warm welcome and invite you to join our efforts following these recommendations for your trip:

  • Add an extra tree to our refuge, participating in our reforestation project.
  • Use only the water you need; you can take short showers and close the faucet while brushing and shaving.
  • If your towels and sheets are clean, request they are not changed.
  • Turn off the lights and fan when not in the room and unplug appliances when not in use.
  • Take advantage of natural lighting and ventilation whenever possible.
  • Use the trash cans outside the restaurant to separate waste properly, in the room the maid will do the separation process.
  • Discard the paper and hygiene products in the trash can only because our drainage systems are not designed to process these wastes.
  • Do not dispose of chemicals or drugs products in drainage systems, as these affect the biological control system of our drains.
  • Help us protect, report any situation of sexual exploitation or harassment detected.
  • Visit Boca Tapada the School and enjoy an authentic experience while working with community development.
  • Visit the protected areas of our country and be amazed by nature.
  • Get local handicrafts, which have not been made ??with endangered species.
  • Protect natural resources, do not remove, or damage the flora and fauna.
  • Do not feed wild animals because it affects the natural balance.
  • Take the opportunity to learn more about the culture and lifestyle of the community.
  • When possible, participate in cultural activities that occur in the region.
