Dear Ecotours Travellers & Friends,

Our last Newsletter was sent out early April, we skipped the Summer one. We lamented at that time that our beautiful Planet is seriously sick and we are suffering a pandemic. We wrote that Mother Earth sent us home to think about what we have done...We hope that beside dealing with the pandemic finally a different approach to solve the global environmental problems will be prompted as well.
At least there are a few good signs. Vaccines are around the corner and some great ecotourism destinations started to open. Costa Rica is definitely a good example.
There were some positive side effects of the lockdown as well. First of all we have had much more time for each other, for our friends and relatives and have managed to work on things we could not do during the last extremly busy 2 decades. Have spent much more time in the garden, created brand new Bird & Mammal Watching Photography hides. We are so optimistic that in the not so distant future you would like to travel again that we have joined to the Blue Sky Wildlife Team and advertise our Kondor Ecolodge-based Hungary tours there. Please check the special offers here:
https://www.blueskywildlife.com/operator/ecotours-kondor-ecolodge-hungary We really would like to thank all of our guests, tour leaders and friends who sent their reviews to Blue Sky so we became one of the best featured companies!
We are also continuously working on our different websites. Recently updated www.kondorecolodge.hu with loads of new photogalleries, reviews and tour infos.
Also there are plenty of new info on our www.ecotours-worldwide.com website.
We hope that tourism will change and focus will be more on small group and private tours than mass tourism. We have decades of experience in small scale birding and ecotourism and more than a decade ago we started to promote one-centred birding and wildlife tours to lower even further our carbon footprint. If you choose your destination wisely you do not need to roam around spending at each place only one or 2 nights but you can have amazing birds and wildlife around you just at that great well-selected lodge. This is what we offer at our excelent lodge, Kondor EcoLodge at Kiskunság National Park in HUNGARY, Europe and try to do also in Costa Rica.
