Eco-tourism?

[livinglight]

Has anyone here ever been on one of the eco-tour trips that are available in lots of places? There is one I am looking at that goes to South America and takes you through the rainforest there and along the Amazon. It's not cheap but it balances out since you aren't staying in a hotel.

Nice idea few an adventue but isn't it smarter to invest money from that trip into something more greener? I don't get it - what is actually green in those eco-tourism products?

Well, the one I'm looking at is going to work at some villages in helping clean up a nasty dump site from loggers that used to be there. They got rid of the creeps that were knocking down the rainforest but the company left a huge mess behind.

I would love to take a vacation in which I can do eco-tourism. I have heard that they have some great tours in Costa Rica. I would love to go on a zip cord. It would the the ultimate natural adventure.
