Ecotourism and Cycling Content Welcome to this edition of our eBulletin "Latin Trails". This issue is dedicated to cycling as an alternative of daily transport, but above all as an alternative of travel mode. We like to combine the idea of cycle touring and ecotourism to slow the pace of travel, increase the contact with local people and reduce our impact on the environment. We will be updating the information of this issue with new companies, organisations and touring ideas, so keep visiting. We thank all the people and organisations that got in contact with us to write up this eBulletin on cycling in Latin America. We hope you find it helpful and please do not hesitate in contacting us if you want to recommend links or other organisations that you know of in Latin America. Safe ecotravels... Allan R. Rhodes - editor Protected Natural Areas (PNAs) At this moment we are starting to increase our content on the Parks and Protected Areas, and the information is mostly in Spanish, but will be translated shortly. Here are the protected areas that are new in our website. Every month we will be including new parks, so keep in touch for further information.
For more information about Protected Natural Areas in 21 Latin American countries visit our Guides of Parks and Protected Areas. Ecoturismolatino through the last several months has created links and supporting relations with websites and organisations promoting responsible tourism in Latin America. You can visit our Responsible Tourism section for more details. Some of the websites up to now are ResponsibleTravel.com, Sustainable Travel International, Ethical Traveler and Inka Porter Project. In this section we have included the organisations and projects who promote the use of bikes in Latin America. These are just some of the organisations we found during this month. The listing includes the name of the organisation or project, country, a short description and contact information. If you know of other cycling projects or organisations please let us know by writting to webmaster@ecoturismolatino.com.

Este mes el webmaster de Ecoturismolatino recomienda dos libros: El primero escrito por Walter Sienko con el título "Latin America by Bike: a complete touring guide" es un buen libro para quienes quieren recorrer Latinoamérica en bicicleta. Un libro útil para planear un recorrido. Otro libro recomendable es "A Bicycle Journey to the Bottom of the Americas: Being a True Account of a Bicycle Adventure from Alaska to Tierra Del Fuego", escrito por George J. Hawkins. Este libro es bueno para motivarse a tomar la bicicleta y recorrer el mundo, mas que para planear un viaje por Latinoamérica. The recommended links of this month are related to the topic of Cycling:
