Growing sustainably...🌿

tourism is defined by fair wages and working conditions, fair purchasing and operations, equitable distribution of benefits, and respect for human rights, culture and the environment. It means that the people who contribute their land, resources, labor and knowledge to tourism are the ones who reap the benefits, and that the natural environment on which it all depends is treated with respect.

04/11/2021

We believe in

Fair trade in tourism helps to create job opportunities for the local community. The positions of guide, cook, host, translator, and so many more can provide necessary employment to people, often combined with providing education and training.

We go even further than just providing "jobs" we provide an opportunity for funding or revenue stream for local non-profits, farmers and small business.

This Saturday!

Nature Therapy Walk with a Guide is around two hours long with many invitations along the way. Forest Therapy Is A Research-Based Framework For Supporting Healing And Wellness Through Immersion In Forests And Other Natural Environments. It is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, which translates to “forest bathing.” Studies have demonstrated a wide array of health benefits, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems, and for stabilizing and improving mood and cognition. We build on those benefits and look beyond, to what happens when people remember that we are a part of nature, not separate from it, and are related to all other beings in fundamental ways.

You will be guided by our co-founder Mónica Pérez who is a certified Forest Therapy Guide. The cost of the walk includes your guide and snacks. Book here: https://localguest.com/shop/experiences/adventure-nature/mindfulness-walk-at-el-yunque/
