Generally, ecotourism is a nature-based tourism that focuses on environmental sustainability and preservation. It is a great way to have a well-deserved holiday without damaging the environment. Ecotourism includes destinations and practices that focuses on sustainability, including conservation, waste reduction, and collaboration with local communities. Simply put, ecotourism is <strong>a &#8216;green&#8217; tourism that does good for the nature. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Top Destinations for Ecotourism Around the World?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Top destinations or countries that are famous for ecotourism includes Costa Rica, Ecuador, Norway, and <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/en\/all-trips\/group-trips\/Australia\/NewZealand\"   title=\"New Zealand\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"2213\" target=\"_blank\">New Zealand<\/a>.

This country really shows the world how to live peacefully with Mother Nature by establishing laws and regulations related to biodiversity. The law strictly prohibits hunting and regulates meticulous conservation approaches in national parks. For that reason, the verdant country stays beautiful and pristine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides living the &#8216;<em>pura vida<\/em>&#8216;, visiting <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"Costa Rica\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/en\/trips\/submerge-in-the-excitement-of-surf-yoga-and-credible-food-while-findin-lXJA\" target=\"_blank\">Costa Rica<\/a> means spoiling yourself with extraordinary nature.

This lush national park is a sanctuary for orangutan amidst Indonesia&#8217;s massive deforestation. You can see Borneans orangutans live happily in their natural habitat, which you can see within a safe distance. Besides that, the thick jungle welcomes you to explore its mysterious yet ravishing side. You can do a jungle trek to spot other animals, such as giant insects, proboscis monkeys, long-tailed monkeys, and the colorful hornbills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide to visit Tanjung Puting, book a guided tour for safety and comfort. Generally, the guided tour comes with a live-on-board package, in which you will sail along the Sekonyer River to spot various animals. Get a glimpse of orangutans carrying their young, proboscis monkeys hanging on trees, or colorful exotic birds flying along tints of green. As the sun goes down and the jungles turn pitch-black, you will sail between dots of lights that come from fireflies. As one of the few natural habitat of orangutans, Borneo is a great ecotourism destination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<body>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/en\/embedded\/trips;type=keyword;term=orangutan;rows=1;background=ffffff;size=lg\" width=\"100%\" onload=\"registerIframe(this)\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe> \n<\/div>\n<\/body>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1022\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Puerto-Princesa-best-ecotourism-destinations.jpg\" alt=\"best ecotourism destinations around the world\" class=\"wp-image-26490\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:1080px;height:720px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"puerto-princesa\">3.

It features an underground river hidden beneath rocky caves and rugged stone structures. Hopping on a small boat and paddling through the turquoise waters is the best way to explore the national park. Besides its unique setting, Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park is also a sanctuary for endemic species, such as crab-eating monkeys.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Travel Tip<\/strong>: Book the Underground River tour early and skip plastic bottles\u2014many operators provide refill stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"amazon-rainforest\">4.

You can choose to stay in a jungle lodge, hop on cruise along the river &#8211; in which you can spot pink dolphins &#8211; or take a guided forest walk. Once you get there, remember to not leave anything but footsteps and prepare to create amazing memories! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Travel Tip: <\/strong>Travel with small-group expeditions and pack light, wear breathable clothes, and pack a biodegradable insect repellent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"chile&quot;\">5.
