With every year that passes, more people are catching on to the undeniable allure of Costa Rica. To ensure wildlife is able to flourish and the beauty of this country is preserved for future generations, we ask all guests at Eagle’s Nest to be responsible, sustainable travellers. Here are a few useful pointers…
1. Leave No Trace
Always be mindful of how much waste you generate. Just like the rest of the world, Costa Rica has a problem with plastic, and we do our best to ensure we don’t make the situation worse. Always dispose of rubbish responsibly, or where possible, take it home with you.
At Eagle’s Nest, we ask that no plastic bottles are brought on to the site. Guests are instead encouraged to bring a refillable bottle, and enjoy water from our fresh water spring.
2. Respect Nature
A top priority within sustainability is conserving the incredible environment we are lucky enough to live in. The earth we sit upon belonged to Mother Earth long before we came to call it home, and we should respect that in everything we do, from how we interact with the plants and wildlife, to the way we interact with materials and each other.
When travelling to Eagle’s Nest – or other attractions and venues, for that matter – please stick to any marked walking trails to avoid damaging plants or disturbing any wildlife. Should you be lucky enough to spot any creatures, remember you are a visitor in their home – always observe from a respectful distance and avoid making too much noise. We also ask that phone use is kept to a minimum, as the energy these devices emit can also disturb animal and bird populations.
3. Interaction with Locals
Make the most of your opportunity to interact with the people of the Nicoya Peninsula.
Always be respectful and courteous of the local communities – a little Spanish goes a long way, as does a friendly smile. Support local businesses by dining at local restaurants and buying locally-made crafts and souvenirs. We can offer plenty of recommendations for the best places to dine and shop.
