Nature Air – Costa Rica’s eco-friendly airline

This is a guest post by Marina K. Villatoro of Travel Experta.

Costa Rica might be a small country but as it has so many mountains, it is actually bigger than you think. There is so much to see and so much natural beauty that it is best to not waste time sitting in a bus or car.

Air travel can help you see as much of the country as possible, but where can you find an airline that is both safe and environmentally friendly? Enter Nature Air, based in the capital of San Jose.

The airline has earned a reputation for quality, which has made it the exclusive charter operator of many hotels and tour operators. It is the only twin engine fleet in Costa Rica, it has a panoramic window views, it is the largest charter in Central America and it ranks as one of the highest in performance. Bonus for families: Nature Air allows your kids to travel for free if two adult tickets are bought.

One of the best reasons to fly Nature Air is because it not only just flies you over the green, but has been trying to become the greenest airline service of all time.

Nature Air is the world’s first certified carbon neutral airline. It doesn’t consume much fuel as other airlines and even their ground support vehicles run on recycled cooking oil! The airline is also contributing in the fight against deforestation in Costa Rica and in the conservation programs made by the government. Costa Rica is planning to be the first carbon neutral country by 2021.
