At Ekobideak, as a company, we are committed to the conservation of geodiversity, biodiversity, and sustainable local development.

We convey the values ​​of a Biosphere Reserve to our visitors, and complement the experience by recommending other local businesses committed to sustainability, protection, and conservation of natural heritage.

We contribute to the local economy by incorporating local products and/or services into our experiences.

We provide information about the ecological vulnerability of natural areas and hiking trails. We avoid routes in sensitive areas and fragile ecosystems, especially during critical seasons for wildlife.

We use marked boundaries and road edges to avoid crossing orchards, crops, or hayfields.

At Ekobideak, we will always keep the gates on paths, trails, and trails closed, and we will walk together in compact groups.

We do not practice or promote the collecting or gathering of flora, fauna or minerals.
