Argentina north to south holiday, 15 days

Planet

As a local Argentina B Corp Travel Company, we hold a deep appreciation for the Earth's natural wonders and understand the importance of their preservation. However, we believe that sustainability alone is insufficient. Travel, in our view, is a potent instrument for creating a positive impact on the destinations we explore.

CARBON REDUCTION

-Reduction of Flying and Promotion of Local Mobility
Although this 15-day itinerary includes several domestic flights due to Argentina’s vast geography, ground transportation is optimized at every destination to minimize emissions. Within cities and regions, shared transfers and small-group tours are used instead of private vehicles. In areas such as Buenos Aires, Mendoza, and El Calafate, travelers use shared vans or minibuses to reduce CO2 per person.

-Human-Powered Activities
The trip includes several low-carbon activities that encourage travelers to explore by foot or muscle power: walking tours in Buenos Aires, hiking at Durazno Gorge in Mendoza, trekking and canoeing in Tierra del Fuego National Park, and extensive walking circuits through Iguazú National Park. These experiences allow visitors to connect deeply with nature while minimizing their environmental impact.

-Local and Vegetarian Cuisine
Throughout the trip, travelers can enjoy locally sourced and seasonal food, especially in Mendoza and Buenos Aires, where farm-to-table dining and vegetarian options are widely available. The itinerary promotes Argentine gastronomy while supporting regional producers and reducing emissions associated with long-distance food transport.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

-Protected Areas and Nature Conservation
This trip includes multiple visits to National Parks and protected areas: Los Glaciares National Park (UNESCO World Heritage), Tierra del Fuego National Park, Aconcagua Provincial Park, and Iguazú National Park (UNESCO World Heritage). Entrance fees directly support conservation, maintenance, and research projects in these key ecosystems.

-Educational Nature Experiences and Local Guides
Travelers are guided by local experts in each region who share knowledge about native wildlife and environmental challenges. From observing penguins, seals, and cormorants along the Beagle Channel to learning about glacier formation and jungle biodiversity, each guided tour raises awareness about environmental preservation.

-Sustainable Accommodation Practices
The partner hotels selected by us prioritize sustainability efforts such as reducing single-use plastics, saving energy and water, and supporting local supply chains. Many operate small-scale facilities, minimizing environmental impact compared to large international chains.

People

LOCAL ECONOMY

The program includes activities that promote local economies, such as visiting wineries in Mendoza (many of them family-run), artisan markets in Buenos Aires and Iguazú, and locally guided tours in each destination. By purchasing local crafts and products, travelers help sustain traditional skills and regional heritage.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY
