Planeta.com (created in 1994 by Ron Mader) is a handcrafted website maintained in old school code with a smattering of social web niceties. We invite locals and visitors to share practices of eco-friendly, people-friendly and place-friendly travel. Good news, we celebrate our 20th anniversary in 2014!

Poke around! There are many ways to get involved.
