What Ecoturista is

Ecoturista is a Spanish website focused on ecotourism and sustainable travel. It connects nature-tourism businesses with travelers while publishing news and analysis about outdoor destinations.

Rural and Nature Tourism Observatory

Its principal research tool, the Observatorio del Turismo Rural y de Naturaleza, brings together data for more than 1,000 inland destinations in Spain. Updated monthly with information from Spain's National Statistics Institute, Wikipedia and Wikidata, and Open-Meteo, it covers visitor numbers, seasonality, protected areas, climate, attractions and lodging by locality. A town search and interactive map highlight growing destinations, nature escapes and places with less seasonal demand.

Ecotourism business directory

Ecotourism operators can create free promotional listings. Published examples include Apartamentos Aguas Blanquillas, Excursiones a Caballo el Campillo and Aula Naturaleza Cazorla.

News and features

Regular coverage includes nature tourism in Spain's Sierra Nevada and Colombia's Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, birdwatching, conservation and tensions between visitor activity and ecosystem protection.

The observatory is most useful as a comparative starting point: travelers can use its public data to narrow their choices, then consult the destination or operator for current access, lodging and activity details.
