One of the characteristics of this country that make it so attractive is the rain forest and other nature areas where on can enjoy beauty rarely touched by humans.

Social Travelers!

Generally have a university education. Have a professional career or own a business. These people would sooner spend money on the experiences and adventures rather then accommodation. Now that does not mean that they are adverse to paying for good accommodation should they desire. They often will and do. They are socially aware. Respect their surroundings and those they come in contact with. They want to leave the world a better place before they exit. You could say that any backpacking is an adventure.

Backpacking Adventure!

Long haired, dirty, ripped clothes, runners hanging on the back pack, smelly, cheap, bum.... plus many other undesirable connotations of the late hippy era backpacker. There is a group of people out there that are becoming very independent thinkers. And at the same time these people are very social. Don't get me wrong they love their independence. Making their own decisions. Determining their destiny. But they still love the social aspect of the community as well. They love to sit down with friends to discuss the days adventures plus any new backpack adventure coming up. The challenges. The discoveries. The rediscoveries of what they thought they had lost but had along. The exchanges of tips, findings and the local cautions. They started to discover Living again. They have started to create their own history. They are Living History. Their history this time. They are the independent social travelers.
