Welcome to the Ecotourspuravida blog!
Here, we’re dedicated to promoting conservation, sustainability, and discussing the issues currently impacting the ecosystems we’re committed to protecting. Our posts highlight the beauty and importance of the places we visit, showcasing their unique flora and fauna. Alongside these positive stories, we’ll address the serious challenges facing our planet’s natural landscapes, offering insights and potential solutions to help mitigate or prevent further harm.
This blog is a new initiative, and as our company grows, we’ll bring you valuable information on environmental education, particularly about the Andean and Caribbean ecosystems, where much of our work is focused.
Our primary goal as a nature tour company is to connect you with Colombia’s natural beauty and that of other remarkable places like Costa Rica and Mexico, which have been like second homes to me, shaping my journey as a naturalist, explorer, and educator. Writing is a powerful tool for raising awareness, and I hope this blog serves as a meaningful step in that direction.
Thank you for joining us on this journey.
Best,
JP (EcotoursPuraVida)
