I'm willing to bet 130km in Belize takes A LOT longer than that. Most roads are rutted dirt. Hey man – did Chaa Creek say is was only 1.5 hours by road?

"Eco" travel is an oxymoron from that perspective. It is like the recycle of reduce - reuse -recycle. Use eco resorts if you cannot have local vacations or go by bike.

Still, in the grand scheme of things, I have to agree that few chopper flights are not a big deal when compared to large scale industrial activity and supply chain inefficiencies which are the real big elephants in the room when it comes to climate change and all other negative externalities of human activity. But to answer the general premise of this article - yes, it's hypocritical for an "eco resort" to use a helicopter, in my opinion! I think those pilots are about 10 years behind in the conversation.
