We believe that travel can have a positive impact on local communities and the environment. That's why, for every trip, Atípico Costa Rica makes a donation to local organizations that are actively working to protect nature and improve the well-being of local populations.

Every travel we design aims to generate positive impacts on environmental, social, and economic levels. We support local associations and collaborate with committed community partners so that every experience contributes to protecting biodiversity, valuing traditional knowledge, and supporting Costa Rican families.

The creation of national parks and nature reserves quickly became an exemplary way to combine biodiversity conservation and visitor experiences. Today, the country counts 152 protected areas, including three UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These protected zones cover nearly 25% of Costa Rica’s land area and host around 5% of the planet’s biodiversity, an incredible figure for such a small country!

Located in the heart of Central America, Costa Rica is much more than just a tropical destination. It is a living laboratory of sustainability, a country that has managed to transform an ecological crisis into a driver of development.

Costa Rica, often presented as a global showcase for ecotourism, devotes more than a quarter of its territory to nature conservation. Its 30 national parks, true sanctuaries of biodiversity, are home to more than 5% of the species recorded on the planet.

Since the early 2010s, Costa Rica has regularly exceeded 98% of its electricity coming from renewable sources. This result places it alongside pioneering countries such as Norway, Scotland, and Uruguay among the cleanest nations in the world (source: Climate Council, 2019).
