We take you on a journey through the mountains, cloud forests, and agricultural lands where some of the world’s finest coffee is grown. This section reveals how Costa Rica's coffee tradition blends with sustainable practices to preserve its rich biodiversity and environment.

Why Costa Rica Stands Out

  • Over 50% of its land is protected: National parks, wildlife refuges, and biological reserves make Costa Rica a global leader in conservation.
  • Home to 5% of the world's biodiversity despite covering only 0.03% of Earth’s surface.
  • Carbon neutrality goal: Costa Rica aims to become one of the first carbon-neutral countries in the world.
  • 99% renewable energy: In recent years, Costa Rica has run almost entirely on renewable energy, mainly hydro, wind, and geothermal.

Sustainable Coffee -Naturally

  • Coffee is often shade-grown, preserving tree cover and bird habitats.
  • Many farms use organic practices and manage waste through composting and water filtration.
  • Producers like those in Los Santos and Tarrazú partner with reforestation projects.
  • Costa Rica banned single-use plastic in government institutions.


  • It offers eco-lodges and carbon-offset tours perfect for conscious travelers.

  • It's one of the only tropical countries to reverse deforestation.
