Wild Wonders: Protected Areas Leading the Way

Costa Rica’s Monteverde Cloud Forest and the Osa Peninsula

Superb cycle highways, harbor baths clean enough to swim in, and ambitious climate targets make everyday life wonderfully low impact. Rent a bike, follow courteous flow, and taste organic smørrebrød. Share your route and inspire a new rider to try.

Stay and Savor: Lodging and Local Food with Purpose

Eco-Lodges That Fund Conservation

From Costa Rica’s Osa to remote archipelagos, many lodges channel a portion of revenue into ranger patrols, habitat restoration, and scholarships. Ask about financial transparency, local hiring, and science partnerships to ensure your stay strengthens every hotspot you visit.

Eat Local, Seasonal, and Proudly Traditional

Markets, cooperatives, and small farms keep flavors honest and supply chains short. Taste island cheeses, forest mushrooms, or coastal greens grown without heavy inputs. Share a favorite regional dish in the comments, and we will compile a reader recipe map.

Cut Waste Without Cutting Joy

Carry a reusable kit, choose filtered water, and request no daily linen changes. Composting, refill bars, and portion-savvy menus are common in green hotspots. Add your best low-waste hack, and inspire someone planning their first regenerative journey.
