Tropical Reservations supports community organizations which in turn directly help the local community. Here’s some organizations which all are working to make this Christmas a little nicer for local children and indigenous communities:

They also have beautiful hand crafted greeting cards and prints (on eco friendly paper) which you can purchase to support the organization’s work.

ATEC - The Talamancan Association of Ecotourism and Conservation:

www.ateccr.org

ATEC is hoping to sponsor at least two different communities this Christmas. They have a wish list of gifts which you can donate for the cause:

ATEC Christmas Wish List

If you’d like to donate cash, 100% of that donation will go to buying school supplies. Just bring, or send, items in to ATEC’s office in Puerto Viejo and they’ll disperse educational toys and all non-school related items in late December.

Please write or call (506) 2750 0398 to get more info or to get involved or just start bringing items to ATEC on main street in Puerto Viejo.
