Frequently Asked Questions | Punta Leona Nature Resort

Regenerative tourism is a new approach to travel that emphasizes the relationship between individuals, their communities, and nature. It invites visitors to slow down, reconnect, and engage more deeply with the destination, creating meaningful experiences that foster positive connections between guests, local communities, the place itself, and the natural systems that sustain life. Both locals and visitors are encouraged to align with the natural rhythms of the environment.

Rather than fast-paced sightseeing, our guests take part in contemplative walks, engage with local guides, and learn about marine conservation, creating a positive and lasting impact on the ecosystem throughout their stay.

Tourism sustainability focuses on the systemic and structural impacts of tourism, aiming to create experiences that remain as memorable moments or anecdotes for the visitor.
Regenerative tourism goes a step further. Rather than stopping at emotion or memory, it seeks to transform travel into deeply relational and sensorial experiences—experiences that reconnect individuals with themselves and with the ecosystem. This approach activates awareness, fosters responsibility, and invites visitors to renew their worldview, creating a lasting and meaningful connection with the place they visit.
