It was apparent from the beginning that the Osa was well kept when we took our first boat ride to our camp. There were very few cars and we were always transported by the same taxis.
Our first day trip was to the park itself. The only man made thing around was the rangers office. Other than that, there were only untouched beaches and the rainforest. Our guide was able to bring us around the park without harming anything. The only part of our hike that looked unnatural was the path that was created by people simply hiking - no gravel or sand led the way.
Our snorkeling trip even further displayed how eco-friendly our trip to the Osa was. We took boats again to Cano Island where the only thing there was a small building. We took boats out where we snorkeled. I'm pretty sure the only part of that trip that could hurt the environment was the boat motors. We were able to enjoy ourselves and be entertained by still maintaining the environment and enjoying its beauty.
I think the trip we are taking to the Caribbean is going to be a lot different. There should be alot more commercial points of interest rather than natural (not including the beach). It should be interesting to contrast.
