|
When you visit Los Glaciares National Park you have to pay a small entrance fee, this money contributes to the upkeep of this UNESCO world heritage site and is a vital part of sustaining the park and keeping its invaluable regulations.
In Buenos Aires, as with all of our tours and expeditions, we use locally sourced guides and drivers, such as Ana in Buenos Aires. This provides you with the ideal person with which to see the city whilst learning about the Argentinean people in person. This in turn gives us another chance to support the local economy, whilst allowing our local guides to broaden their horizons, improve their English and share with you their marvelous city. Part of the cost of your holiday goes towards the planting of 20 hard wood trees in the Mata Atlantica, under the guidance of R.E.G.U.A. (Reserva Ecologica de Guapi Assu) who protect one of the last stands of primary tropical rainforest left in the severely depleted Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
