We look forward to welcoming you to Finca Esperanza Verde! We are all about 鈥渟upporting a rural Nicaraguan community鈥 and your visit will do just that.
Our ecotours provide the best value for those seeking a sustainable tourism experience. 10% of the trip price is designated for the construction of a community development project such as a rural water project or new school construction and the activities included will bring you a better understanding of Nicaraguan culture.
Host families, the Tourist Guide Club, farm staff, local producers of food products, cultural performance groups, and small entrepreneurs who provide workshops and activities to our ecotour groups greatly appreciate the income ecotourism brings them and their economically depressed community.
We tailor each Eco-tour to the needs of your particular group, school, interest, age/physical ability, etc.聽 Customizing a unique and powerful experience for you is what we do best!
To make a reservation or plan your own Eco-tour email info@san-ramon.org for more info.
