Join Us in Protecting

At Bohemia Experience, we’re not just about offering a sanctuary in Santa Teresa; we’re committed to fostering positive change. We proudly support Nicoya Peninsula Waterkeeper, a local NGO affiliated with the global Waterkeeper Alliance network. Their mission is clear: to protect the rivers, lakes and coastlines of Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula through grassroots initiatives.

Covering the coast from Manzanillo to the Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve, Nicoya Peninsula Waterkeeper tackles environmental challenges in four key ways:

Water Management:
They monitor and improve water quality in homes and local businesses, fighting pollution and preserving this precious resource.

Waste Management: Through recycling and composting programs, they reduce environmental impact and make a real difference in our communities.

Education and Awareness: The team leaves no stone unturned. Visiting towns, restaurants and hotels, they’ve launched awareness campaigns and organized community beach cleanups to raise environmental awareness across Santa Teresa and beyond.

Law Enforcement: They’re here for you. If you witness a violation, such as an institution or restaurant breaching water or waste regulations, Nicoya Peninsula Waterkeeper will act, providing support, following up and advocating for proper enforcement of the law.

They have also created a certification for local businesses, “Ocean Friendly Business.” Bohemia Experience is committed to joining this initiative, and in the meantime, we’re proud to introduce you to this remarkable NGO and its work.

This issue is not unique to Santa Teresa; it’s a global concern. Waste management is often neglected, leaving streets and beaches marred by litter and plastic. The consequences are serious, harming wildlife and posing health risks to people, as the same water that sustains local animals, plants and even us becomes polluted.

This is a collective effort, and you can play your part by making a donation to support the cause. Your entire contribution goes directly to protecting our coastal waters; for example, they plan to hire four people to clean our beaches daily.

Donations start from as little as $1. You can donate at the Bohemia Experience reception or contribute directly through Amigos of Costa Rica:
