Ecotourism TCI
Eco-tourism is participating in ecologically sustainable activities, which ideally bring benefit to the local ecosystem.
Turks and Caicos Islands has set aside over
33% of its entire land and sea regions for preservation purposes : National Parks, Natures
Reserves,
Sanctuaries and Protected Areas. The world’s largest biodiversity saltwater wetland reserve – the Ramsar

1/3 of East Caicos, ½ of
Middle Caicos and ¼ of
North Caicos and provides a breeding ground for myriad birds. By preserving these areas, the
Turks and Caicos Islands have taken a stand to ensure future generations may still enjoy the natural wonders of this tiny island country.
Hiking is another way to enjoy the beauty of
Turks & Caicos Islands, stretching your legs while the fantastic scenery fills your eyes. Miles of pristine beach, path-
ways to old colonial ruins and trails along the cliffs all await for you to explore. The tough indigenous vegetation colours the land with green, and while surprising yellow or orange leaps up from cactus and flowering shrubs. Take a local guide and listen to the tales of bush medicine made form a wide variety of the plants, good for most ailments.
Mountain bikes offer another route through the
landscape, and stops at local houses where a warm welcome awaits add to your day.

pelago formed by the islands creates a circle, nestled within which we find a wide variety of lifestyles, culture and natural habitats.
