Ibera Wetlands and Iguazu Falls tour, Argentina

On this trip, while we are in Iberá we stay in Rincón del Socorro, an accommodation that owns the Conservation Land Trust organization, founded by Douglas Tompkins. Iberá Marshlands natural reserve is one of the largest and most important of Argentina.
The main objective of our expeditions is that you can meet wild animals in their own habitat, in different places and times of day. We can do this in many ways: by boat, walking through the native forest or on horseback through swamps and palm trees. Always watching closely,
but without disturbing them. We give also some talks about conservation of the environment with some local specialist that talk also about their projects.

In Iguazú we do not sell helicopter rides because they damage the ecosystem and, among other negative effects, cause birds to leave the national park. The tours are accessible for people with reduced mobility. Visits are guided by enabled local people who are really informed on issues of biodiversity, environment. They know the importance of spreading valuable information to visitors.

Our environmental impact in our offices is low, so we focus more on the value chain. Anyway, in the office we do waste separation and always try to reduce and reuse whenever possible.

Selection of our suppliers:

In order to ensure sustainability and consistency with our work philosophy, we always look for sustainable tourism providers that meet any of the following requirements:
- Be distinguished by quality and / or sustainability programs/seals
- Be recognized locally for their good environmental and social practices.
- We prioritize local ventures and, if possible, attended by their owners.
- In the case of accommodation, we work with hotels certified for their environmental management whenever we can.
- We also encourage our allies to improve and continue implementing environmentally responsible practices, especially those related to water, energy, and waste.
- In the more traditional destinations, we seek to offer a different travel experience, with small group excursions, certified local guides and with alternative proposals that complement the most tourist sites.

Responsible practices with the environment
- Walking and public transport tours
- Visit natural areas where we work on environmental awareness and the importance of biodiversity.
- We contribute monthly with the Argentine Wildlife Foundation (a member of WFF)
- We deliver a recycled leather envelope to our customers to carry their documentation. The Vacavaliente company is a certified B company that buys the remains of leather from tanneries (preventing them from being waste) and transforms them into design products through reuse techniques.
