The Philosophy Behind Eco-Villages
Eco-villages are communities designed to minimize environmental impact and promote a new lifestyle. In Costa Rica, they include solutions such as solar panels for energy production, rainwater collection and recycling systems, the use of local and renewable construction materials, and shared green spaces that encourage a sense of community.
This does not mean giving anything up: those who choose an eco-village live in modern, comfortable homes surrounded by a healthier environment, in perfect balance with the surrounding nature.
For many Europeans and North Americans, this also answers a common question: “What is life like in Costa Rica?” The answer is sustainable, peaceful, and supported by modern services.
