We support a series of initiatives for the environment and sustainability:

Reforestation through the "Deja tu huella" (Leave your footprint) program: it has already beautified the La Fortuna area, is maintaining its beautiful gardens, and has planted more than 3,000 trees in the Arenal area.

Women’s Z-13 Recycling Center: this women’s group cleans up the community by collecting and handling all the recyclable wastes in the La Fortuna area. This project also helps low-income people through Hogarcito, an organization that protects and educates abandoned children.

A river and highway cleanup program and "Put on a t-shirt for Costa Rica": promotes the sale of t-shirts to raise funds that are used for urban beautification and community cleanups.

We also support the Arenal Volcano National Park Foundation (FUNDEVOLCA) and the Friends of the National Parks Foundation.
