This small resort with few visitors and there is minimal intrusion on the environment. A local guide accompanies you throughout your stay so you learn about the region during. We add a charge for carbon offset to all our holidays. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel.
