A profound regard for all living things is a signature of Peninsula Papagayo, paying homage to Costa Rica’s status as a world leader in environmentalism. Through a unique public/private covenant with the Costa Rican government, the peninsula’s 1,400 acres will forever be protected. An incredible 70% of the land will be conserved as open space. Nature will remain the peninsula’s most precious gift. By preserving wildlife corridors and water holes, restoring animal dormitories and creating an on-site botanical nursery. By continuing to set visionary standards for sustainable design principles and sensitive growth.

From its inception, Peninsula Papagayo was envisioned to play a leading role in empowering nearby communities to achieve a sustainable future for themselves and their children. This commitment began in 2001 with the creation of a pioneering community outreach program called Creciendo Juntos—Growing Together. To date, there have been over 600,000 participants in Creciendo Juntos-sponsored courses and workshops, broadening the horizon of job opportunities, self-employment and entrepreneurship for residents in the region.
