As the global green movement picks up speed, eco-tourism has become a huge industry spanning the world. Costa Rica has been at the heart of ecological preservation and at the forefront of eco-tourism for decades now. Their position as a leading eco-tourism country mixed with the extreme biodiversity the country has to offer, has made Costa Rica a top tourist destination for vacationers around the world. But eco-friendly is not synonymous with boring anymore! You do not have to hike, inspect insects and stay in tents like so many people believe! There are hundreds of awesome adventure packages you can embark on to not only enjoy a little fun and excitement but still be eco-friendly and sensitive to the fragile eco-systems surrounding you. One highly recommended day trip is the Carbon Neutral Pacuare River Whitewater Rafting Tour. On this tour you will ride some of the greatest whitewater rafting in Latin America. The wild rapid ride is matched by its incredible journey through the dynamic ecosystems Costa Rica has to offer. This tour is carbon neutral as its name describes, so what better way to be picked up than in a bio-diesel bus that will take you through the stunning mountain-scapes of the region until you arrive at your push off point at the Pacuare River. Your 18 mile tour will pass through lush rainforests where your guide will help you spot indigenous critters, including toucans and parrots as well as rare tropical foliage unique to Costa Rica. As your ride the river you will race past dense vegetation and crystalline waterfalls that empty into the river as well. About mid-day you will have lunch on the shores of the river and have some time to explore the riverbed area. After passing the traditionally palm-thatched Cabecar Indian families homes, you will spend time in the center of the steep gorges of the canyon of Dos Montanas as you traverse the exhilarating class II and class IV rapids. After a fulfilling day of an outdoor adventure you can change into dry clothes before you climb into the bus for the hour and a half bus journey back to San Jose. What´s more is that this specific tour is carbon neutral and supports the efforts to conserve the river´s ecosystem. A portion of the proceeds go to helping nearby communities, so not only are you having a great vacation adventure, you are helping the environment and the people of local communities while you do it! Just before you depart the river side, you will have the opportunity to purchase carbon-offset certificates that will also help finance the planting and care of indigenous plants in the deforested areas. The principle is that these new plants will absorb tons of atmospheric carbon as they grow. There consumption of carbon eventually offsets carbon that enters the atmosphere, including that which you omitted during your Costa Rica vacation as well as provide a home to the hundreds of species of animals and insects living in this tropical paradise! So eco-friendly does not have to mean boring. This tour is anything but! You will leave Costa Rica with rich memories and have contributed to the global fight against climate change!
