Welcome to Nosara — One of Costa Rica’s Most Eco-Conscious Destinations
If the environment matters to you, you’ve come to the right place. Nosara is one of the most environmentally protected regions in Costa Rica — and Costa Rica itself is among the world’s leading nations in nature conservation and sustainable living. Over 70% of Costa Rican territory is protected from overdevelopment and mass tourism.
At CaliBike, we are proud to align with the United Nations Sustainable Tourism Goals, and we actively promote a more responsible, conscious way to experience this paradise.
Here’s a simple 5-step guide to making your stay in Nosara more sustainable. These steps are easy to follow — and if every visitor embraced them, we could dramatically reduce the environmental impact of tourism in this magical place.
✅ 1. Conserve Water
Nosara’s water supply is limited and under pressure due to rapid growth. Help protect this vital resource by:
Keeping showers under 2 minutes
Avoiding unnecessary use of water
Reporting any leaks or water waste where you stay
🚫 2. Say No to Plastic
Plastic is still available in some shops — but it doesn’t belong in a place like this.
Refuse plastic bottles, straws, and bags
Use reusable glass or metal bottles
Carry your own eco bag for shopping
Join CaliBike’s weekly beach cleanup to keep our coastline plastic-free
💡 3. Save Energy
Air conditioning is one of the largest sources of energy consumption.
Turn it off when you leave your room
Use ceiling fans and natural airflow when possible
Close windows and curtains to keep spaces cool naturally
🚲 4. Choose Sustainable Transport
Leave a lighter footprint by choosing electric, emission-free transportation.
Ride a CaliBike e-bike for beach, jungle, and town travel
Not ready for two wheels? Ask your host about electric go-karts or shuttles
🤝 5. Support Local Businesses
Nosara is special because it’s still free of major chains and corporations.
Dine at local restaurants, drink at local bars, shop at local markets
Every dollar you spend locally helps families and businesses thrive
You’re not just a visitor — you’re a contributor to the community
Together, we can keep Nosara beautiful, wild, and thriving for generations to come.
If you’re staying with a local host or renting a CaliBike, you’re already part of the solution. 🌎💚
