Horizontes and Sustainable Travel

Since 1984, Costa Rica-based Horizontes Nature Tours has led many thousands of travelers to the country's most beautiful and biodiversity-rich destinations, all in the name of conservation. A pioneer in nature travel, Horizontes has helped create an incentive for the protection of Costa Rica's landmark national park system by encouraging small groups of travelers to visit these wild lands. Over the year's Horizontes has instituted a number of initiatives aimed at "greening" its own business and the industry. The company's philanthropic efforts have extended to community development and park projects that include the funding of national park rangers to prevent poaching, and the support of trail building, research stations, and conservation organizations.
