All the hotels and lodges we use are locally owned and run. We also only ever use local guides. This not only benefits the surrounding community and boosts the local economy, it also ensures that our clients have a more authentic experience during their trip. The Los Glaciares National Park in Patagonia was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1981 and by visiting it our clients are directly contributing to the upkeep and preservation of this unique area. As with all our holidays, our sustainable tourism policy means that our tours are always conducted in small groups ensuring we have a minimal impact on the environment.
We work closely with our Argentine partners to ensure that our tours are professionally run and operated within the park’s ecological guidelines. All waste created during the cruise is removed from the national park and recycled wherever possible. Whilst in Uruguay our clients stay in one of just two hotels in a tiny fishing village and as such provide vital income for the local economy. The inhabitants of the community are passionate about preserving this incredibly special place and we encourage all our clients to be respectful of the local environment during their stay. £20 from every holiday we sell goes to support a project run by Regua aimed at protecting and replanting the Atlantic rain forest in Rio state, and a Rio based NGO which provides educational courses for the community of Vidigal – one of the city’s favelas.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
