|
In Mendoza your winelodge is built from local materials to blend in with and have minimal effect on the surrounding environment. All food and wine are sourced from local producers meaning that just going there and tasting these prize winning wines is only improving them further.
In Buenos Aires your hotel is made of just 4 rooms, meaning both a minimal impact on the environment and a more personal involvement with the local staff. As with all of our tours and expeditions, we use locally sourced guides and drivers, such as Diana in Buenos Aires, a useful asset and a great guide. This in turn gives us more opportunity to support the local economy, whilst allowing our guides the chance 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. |
