Costa Rica's Puriscal Emerges as Travel Gem

Puriscal, a tranquil area in Costa Rica known for its culinary heritage and tobacco production, offers natural attractions such as La Cangreja National Park, where visitors can enjoy diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes. Additionally, the Quitirrisí Indigenous Reserve showcases Costa Rica's indigenous culture through artisan crafts. Meanwhile, the Nature Positive Tourism Partnership (NPTP) is advocating for sustainable tourism practices at the UN Biodiversity Summit in Colombia, aiming to align travel with biodiversity conservation. As over-tourism affects Mexico’s Caribbean coast, travelers are increasingly seeking quieter alternatives like Loreto, a lesser-known beach town in Baja California Sur, which remains largely untouched and offers a rich natural environment. The Fiambalá hot springs in Argentina, famed for their volcanic waters, provide a serene getaway amidst the Andean mountains, attracting visitors looking for relaxation and wellness. Both Loreto and Fiambalá exemplify the shift towards more sustainable and authentic travel experiences.
