Help protect the
Costa Rican Rainforest
when you travel with VBT in 2008 and 2009

At VBT, we’re concerned about environmental conservation — it's one reason why we chose to see the world by bicycle, not tour bus. And for a limited time, when you book a 2008 or 2009 VBT Costa Rica vacation, we'll sponsor an acre of Costa Rican rainforest in your name through Nature Conservancy’s Adopt an Acre program. Adopt an Acre® is a program of The Nature Conservancy that provides critical funds for rainforest protection and restoration. This year, Adopt an Acre will support Costa Rica’s endangered Osa Peninsula.

Adopt an Acre of Rainforest through the Nature Conservancy when you book a 2008 or 2009 VBT Costa Rica vacation!

When you Adopt an Acre through VBT and The Nature Conservancy, you will receive:

• Personalized certificate with signature photo of the Osa Peninsula commemorating your generocity;
• Colorful fact sheet about the Osa rainforests;
• Nature Convervancy Magazine subscription to keep you informed all year long about this project and the many other places the Conservancy is working to protect around the world. (Plus, we'll rush the current magazine issue along with your personalized certificate!)

VBT’s moderate Adventure Costa Rica vacation lets you pedal through this diverse living landscape at your own pace, with full van support right behind whenever you need it. Seek out colorful birds and butterflies, monkeys, frogs and lizards. Ride alongside natural wonders, like rare tropical flowers and tumbling waterfalls, right up close. Bike and hike on the active Arenal Volcano. Take a peaceful boat safari, or an exhilarating zip line ride through the treetops. Then, head back to your comfortable hotel for some fresh Costa Rican cuisine and a renewing night’s rest. And don’t forget to extend your vacation — and your value — when you book an optional trip extension to Panama or Manuel Antonio!
