The videos and blogs on this page were contributed by members of our vegan community who recently traveled to South America and graciously shared their travel experiences. Follow your fellow vegan travelers as they explore Costa Rica compassionately, meet local vegans and other vegan travelers, and share the amazing vegan food they find during their travels! They share the sites they visited, the places they stayed at, vegan shops they found, and the sites and activities they enjoyed during their time in Costa Rica. Some also visit animal sanctuaries in the countries they travel to and kindly share the stories of the animals they meet. Join our vegan community and share your travel adventures with our global vegan community and collectively we can show the world how easy it is to be vegan and travel compassionately.
