Ecotourism Travel: Ecologically Sustainable, Escorted Vacations To Costa Rica

Travel with Caravan Tours to Costa Rica, a diverse tropical paradise of protected, rare natural beauty. This eco friendly country passionately welcomes international visitors and tourists.

Costa Rica has been able to successfully sustain its sensitive biological reserves, national wildlife habitats, refuges and ecological rainforest environments by embracing ecotourism.

Costa Rica now has seventy-five protected areas in all that contain approximately 4% of all the planet’s ecosystems, protecting a diverse array of rare tropical birds, reptiles, flora and fauna.

Costa Rica is truly blessed and one of the very few countries that has been able to marry the preservation of its fragile eco systems with ecotourism and the tourism industry. A full 25% of this tiny country of less than 4 million people has been set aside for national reserves and parks.

Fully Escorted Ecotourism Travel

Costa Rica ecotourism holidays are fully escorted by professional Tour Operators and you’ll get to explore the rainforest ecosystem and Canopy Wildlife firsthand. You’ll have a chance to get up close to exotic birds like toucans, parrots and the rare Green McCaw plus rainforest wildlife like howler monkeys, water-walking lizards and manatees.

Your all-inclusive Budget Vacation includes eco tours (with naturalist guides) of Costa Rica’s lush jungle rainforests, including sightseeing tours of Selva Verde, Cloud Forest, Braulio Carillo, Manuel Antonio and world-renowned Tortugureo Park.

Eco Adventure Tours of Tortugureo National Park

Tortugureo (known as the “Amazon of Costa Rica”) is inhabited by a diverse species of wildlife including over 57 types of amphibians, 60 types of mammals, 111 different kinds of reptiles and over 300 species of tropical, exotic birds. Near the Green Turtle Research Station is the protected breeding area for the endangered green sea turtles, which is also the Atlantic beach nesting site for leatherbacks, loggerheads and hawksbill turtles.

Book Your Eco Trip With Caravan

On your ecotourism travel holiday to Costa Rica you will also get to visit the pristine sandy beaches on both the Caribbean and Pacific coastlines and stay at some of Costa Rica’s finest Resorts and Hotels.

Since 1952, family owned and operated Caravan has been one of the America’s leading tour companies. Our Costa Rica Ecotourism Packages sell out quickly so book early to reserve your preferred tour date and to take advantage of the lowest possible airfares.

Caravan’s Proud History

Caravan Tours began selling fully escorted tours in 1952. We have been under the same management and ownership ever since. In 1965, Roger Mudd hosted a two hour CBS TV special on Caravan Tours. This TV production took about one month to make and was so successful it inspired the 1968 romantic comedy movie “If it’s Tuesday this must be Belgium.” In the early 50’s the Mayor of Dublin presented Caravan with the Key to Dublin for bringing the first American tour to the city after WWII. Since then Caravan has been recognized as a pioneer in travel. More recently, Caravan was awarded the Sierra Madre Explora award for our positive effect on Mexico’s Copper Canyon region!

Great Value, Book Early

Caravan’s strong buying power gives you great vacations at prices much lower than you can find anywhere. Last year many of our tours sold out quickly. Book early for the date you prefer and the best air fare.

Trade Association Memberships

ASTA, NTA, CLIA, ACTACaravan Tours is a member of ASTA (American Society of Travel Agents), NTA (National Tour Association), CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association), and an allied member of ACTA (Alliance of Canadian Travel Agencies).

How does Caravan Tours sell these tours for such a low cost?

Caravan delivers volume to our suppliers, who in turn reward us with their very best prices, we in turn pass these savings on to you, and you reward us by buying our tours. As volume continues to rise, we then receive even better prices from our suppliers, and we pass even greater savings on to you. This year our tours are better than ever.

How satisfied are Caravan clients?

The short answer is “very.” Our surveys are uniformly very positive. However we continually strive to improve our tours, (they are often updated several times in the course of one year), we study all client surveys and suggestions for improvement very carefully.

Pitch-Free Travel

Caravan includes all activities listed in the tour itinerary page. Caravan does not sell any optional activities which can add hundreds of dollars to your tour price. Your free time is scheduled in great settings where there is no need to buy additional expensive activities.
