We use local services and providers everywhere we travel, this is at the heart of our mission and mandate and this includes lodges inns, restaurants and guides. Amerika Ventures is dedicated to bringing you, the visitor, closer to the local community to allow you to share, with the locals, as much as possible and truly learn about them and their natural environment. Of course, Amerika Venture enforces a "leave no trace" policy on all its trips.

Most of our trips are largely focused on wildlife watching and fauna studying. In a variety of direct and complex ways, the money we spend (the money the travelers spend), ultimately lead to nature conservation as the reason for our (locally lucrative) presence in all the places we visit is "nature". Nature then becomes a local resource we pay for. The result is more conservation, no matter what people will say. We have contributed to studies on the subject in the past in a verity of ways (papers, masters and documentaries) and have carefully studied the question, the bottom-line is: our tours go where nature is preserved and respected, our activities finance conservation. Amerika Venture also directly finances land purchases for conservation in Costa Rica and Mexico and we are expecting to invest more in land conservation in the future in the counties of Ecuador and Brazil.

We pay all our staff and providers, local and foreigners, the fair salary / price (and often more), this is part of our mission and principals.
