You may be one of the growing number of travelers who hunger for journeys beyond the old “if it’s Tuesday, it must be Belgium” approach. You want to go beneath the surface—stretching your mind, your limits and even your soul to experience the true land and culture. You care about saving the natural wonders of the Earth’s fragile places.

Manaca believes that responsible travel protects the environment and benefits local communities. We have partnered with like-minded organizations like The Jane Goodall Institute to further our mission—to stir travelers to become global stewards.

WHY MANACA?

In short, we do the homework for you. Manaca, Inc. selects in-country operators, guides, and ecolodges with great care. We ask the hard questions so you don’t have to. We ask our operators and lodge owners to answer the detailed questions of our Manaca Eco-Assessment, which measures their commitment to conservation, community, and environment. If they meet our standards, we ask each to sign our Responsible Tourism Pledge. This is your final assurance that you can travel with both confidence and a conscience.

OPERATING IN THE GREEN

Like Manaca, our ecolodge owners and tour operators are committed to protecting the environment. With this in mind, they have set up their operations to use alternative power, various types of recycling, and environmentally friendly forms of transportation.
