How this holiday makes a difference

Your wine lodge In Mendoza 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.

Your hotel in Buenos Aires has only 4 rooms, meaning a minimal impact on the environment and a more personal involvement with the locally sourced staff, who will in turn give you more of an insight into their life and their city than usually possible. Using locals also gives them a chance to earn good money, improve their English and make them more employable in the future, honing their skills for future ambitions.

When you visit Los Glaciares National Park you have to pay a small entrance fee; this money is vital to the upkeep of this UNESCO world heritage site.

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.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


The best thing was the mix: Mendoza, Buenos Aires, José Ignacio. Perfect mix between seeing and experiencing new things and just relaxing. The wine spa treatment in Mendoza, the hotel Legado Mitico in Buenos Aires as well as the relaxingly not-crowded beach near Posada del Faro in José Ignacio all immediately come to mind.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Both Cavas Wine Lodge in Mendoza and the village José Igancio are a bit out of the way so excellent for a few days and if what you want is relaxation (as we did). However, if you are looking for new restaurant experiences, lots of action, etc., these may not be where you want to stay for too long. Great to mix with also experiencing a big city like Buenos Aires.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Small hotels with fairly large numbers of what presumably were local staff was positive. However, the environmental matters may not be a priority everywhere - towels were changed rather too often (especially in Posada del Faro) and it generally was not clear what if any environmental policies the different hotels had.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


Wonderful! A small negative note was a certain mix-up and changes (for the worse) with the last leg of the travel. Also, the room in Posada del Faro (Jose Ignacio) was smelling mouldy and damp when we arrived, a smell that did not go away totally for five days and which appears to be a construction problem. (It was not a big problem as we spent more time on the lovely terrace, but not really what one expects at a hotel of that standard).

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


It was all memorable! We were recommended some fantastic places to stay, and there were highlights everywhere, but I think we were blown away by the Iguazu Falls which were just amazing! Also spending my birthday on a schooner, with bubbly and cake provided by the operator, was a lovely surprise, and I felt very spoilt!

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


The operator really came up with some wonderful ideas. They knew the best areas to stay in, the best accommodation, including a 4 bedroom boutique hotel in Buenos Aires, and came up with original ideas for making our trip very special. The guides were all excellent, and all the pick ups and transfers worked perfectly. I can't recommend them enough.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Yes, particularly at our last stop at Pousada Picinguaba near Paraty, where all the staff were local, we had solar heated water, fish were locally caught, coffee from their local farm etc. Very environmentally friendly!

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


Fantastic, the only downside was that it went far too quickly!
