Overview
Our mission is to create experiences that help grow a new generation of environmentally conscious world citizens. Our trips are comprised of adventures interwoven with education.
Travelers visit the banana plantations and explore the effects of commercial farming on the habitat. They meet with members of the local indigenous community to learn from their ancient wisdom about the rainforest, and hike through primary rainforest and explore preservation methods.
At our own Punta Mona Center for Sustainable Living and Education, travelers harvest food from organic gardens, learn about alternative energy, and practice living sustainably. These are just the highlights: every day is packed with adventures in learning and nature.
