Agro-productive farms
As a result of the boom in tourism, many projects arise in which the
agricultural factor is mixed with this activity. Many of these projects have also integrated the term ecological, establishing what many call agro-ecotourism.
The concept of agro-ecotourism involves much more than just mixing tourism with agriculture or livestock farming. The term entails social responsibility, environmental protection, community bonding, and sustainability. These tourism experiences showcase dual purpose livestock, the cultivation of roots and tubers , pineapple, cocoa, heart of palm, black pepper, ipecacuanha, passion fruit, citrus fruits, plantain bananas, sweet potato, squash, watermelon, basic grains, harvesting vegetables, milking dairy cows, living in a rural inn,
horseback riding, Costa Rican gastronomy and much more. 531
