SUSTAINABLE TOURISM (CST)
REFORESTATION
Costa Rica is worldwide known for its exuberant landscape, green areas, natural beauty and its great variety of flora and fauna.
Unfortunately, deforestation has knocked to our doors and many of our woods and forests have started to disappear, all of this caused by excessive industrial and commercial, cutting down and burning trees to obtain more land and carry out with their projects. We firmly believe that it is not enough to see over the window and complaint over the consequences of our acts, observing year after year the lost of part of our nature that makes our country a valued green destination.
Since the construction of Villa Caletas the reforestation of the region has been for us a fundamental priority, planting thousands and thousands of trees every year so we can continue enjoying the beauty of our surrounding landscape and to be the habitat for many species of the region, like scarlet macaws, toucans, hummingbirds, raccoons and others. One of the main projects we have boost up is the “Friends of the Forest” one, inviting the guest to participate in the conservation and reforestation of our tropical forest by buying a tree for $20 and if the client wishes, plant the tree by themselves, on the contrary, an employee of the hotel will plant it for them. The recollected funds in this project are used to help with social programs.
