A Unique Story
Sumak Travel was founded in 2012 with the goal of providing authentic travel experiences that connect travelers to the culture and natural beauty of the destinations they visit. As a social enterprise, Sumak Travel is committed to prioritizing the well-being of people and the environment, and aims to contribute to the empowerment of local communities in Latin America. In 2017, the company shifted its focus exclusively to Costa Rica, becoming a destination management company (DMC) and sustainable tour operator.
As a member of several organizations, including the International Ecotourism Society, Social Enterprise UK, and the World Indigenous Tourism Alliance, Sumak Travel is committed to promoting responsible and sustainable tourism in Costa Rica. Much of the company's profits are reinvested to support more communities and destinations in the country, and Sumak Travel is an official supporter of WTM World Responsible Tourism Day. Additionally, Sumak Travel belongs to Tourism Concern's Ethical Tour Operators Group (ETOG), a group of tour operators committed to promoting responsible tourism practices.
