EcoCircuitos Donates to Casa Esperanza

EcoCircuitos has been involve in Responsible Tourism in Panama for many years and we believe in supporting different organizations by collaborating with community development and conservation. Casa Esperanza support children of extreme poverty in Panama by giving them education and home. EcoCircuitos donates $0.20 per person, per day on every tour we operate to different organizations as Casa Esperanza in Panama.

You can support Casa Esperanza by:
• Help local schools provide education material, supplies – currently we are searching for funding to install a sidewalk in Darién. The lack of one currently poses a major hazard to children walking alongside the road to school. Contact us for a complete school wish list.
• Sponsor a child’s education through the scholarship program.
• Buy plants to be reforested in a biological corridor- visit a local farm in communities that neighbor a private reserves and help in planting native trees on the property and promotes environmental education. If you like, you can help plant them yourself or even better, invite a local school to join you.

As we are strong promoters of Sustainable Tourism in Panama we want to share with you some of the objectives of EcoCircuitos as a Tour Operator. We believe that Sustainable tourism should: contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and cultural diversity; contribute to the well being of local communities and indigenous people; include an interpretation/learning experience; involve responsible action on the part of tourists and tourism industry; be appropriate in scale; require the lowest possible consumption of non renewable resources; respect physical and social carrying capacities; involve minimal repatriation of earned revenue; be locally owned and operated (through local participation, ownership and business opportunities, particularly for rural people).

Some of our tours and adventures can be found on our website at www.ecocircuitos.com

Our aim is to guarantee all our clients the best experience in Panama.
