Agro-tourism is a special kind, because when you buy a tour its not
only for bedroom or food, you buy a experience. The tourist is a person
to view them growing, harvesting, and processing locally grown foods,

home-stay opportunity and
education.
Also the tourist can find cows,
horses, bulls, sheep, goats,
ducks, pigs, and others farms

Ecotourism in Costa Rica
A practice for the conservation and
wise use of resources
Ecotourism seeks a minimal
impact on the environment, and
assists the protection of natural
areas and benefits to local
populations
Costa Rica is a small country in a territory with 51 100 square
kilometers, which has a variety of environments, such as beaches,
mountains, mangroves, and many more ...
One of the features that will draw
more attention to visitors can see the
large number of trees that produce a
green landscape, accompanied by the
sing of the birds and the generosity of
the Costa Ricans.
In our country there are many places
to practice ecotourism, and employers are aware of the impact on the
environment which may cause the tourism activity.
For that reason we use environmentally
friendly practices:
Recycling
Nature walks
Environmental education
Appropriate use of resources

BIO DIGESTER:
Is bio digester in fashion? Yes, it is.
It is an economic way to save money and
electricity.
If you have cows, horses, pigs, sheep, you
can use the animal feces to produce
methane gas with a simple and economical
bag and wood or plastic wood structure.
In Costa Rica is common to find projects
that use the bio digester to ruse organic
waste
How to feed and bio digester?
When the bio digester is installed you need
to feed it every day, and you need to be
careful with the size of the bio digester.
Example:
A bio digester of 8 meters long and is feed with 50 kg of feces from cows, horses,
pigs, or sheep, dissolved in 150 liter of water.
The digester started to produce methane gas
in 30 days.
