GOING GREEN
Sustainable travel is still a new concept in Brazil, which doesn’t stop plenty of travel entrepreneurs waving the eco-flag. So how can you spot the difference between a genuinely sustainable
option and an eco-con?
Our authors have highlighted choices that contribute to sustainable tourism in Brazil, whether
it’s by using alternative energy, supporting sustainable development in local and indigenous
communities or helping to preserve Brazil’s cultural, natural and architectural heritage. Many of
the options on this list are Brazilian-owned and operated, and, in some way or other, most help
travelers reach a deeper understanding of the cultural and natural environment they’re in. Apart
from the listing following, you can also check out listings of national parks, bus travel, train
travel, and activities such as hiking and cycling, which are all covered in the book’s regular index.
Green travel is becoming more important all the time, but it’s not always easy for travelers,
including us, to find sustainable options. You can help us improve this list by sending your feedback and recommendations to [email protected]. To find out more about sustainable
tourism at Lonely Planet, head to www.lonelyplanet.com/responsibletravel.
