CARBON REDUCTION

This tailor-made itinerary combines convenient domestic flights with longer stays in each destination, minimising travel time and allowing you to experience each region at a more relaxed pace. With fewer transfers and more time to explore, not only are you reducing time spent in transport, but you'll enjoy a deeper connection to Argentina's diverse landscapes and adventures.

Say Bosque Regeneration Commitment
Through our ground team's Say Bosque program, every traveler contributes to native forest restoration projects in Patagonia, embedding carbon mitigation and regeneration directly into the cost of the trip. In collaboration with ReforestArg, ten trees are planted for every traveller to contribute to this cherished landscape.

Twice a year, our ground team travel to Cholila, Chubut – Argentine Patagonia – to plant these trees, playing a part in preserving native forests, bolstering the local community, and giving back to Mother Earth.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

Support for Protected Natural Areas
The itinerary includes visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites and protected areas such as Iguazú National Park and Nahuel Huapi National Park: park fees from visitors help to fund conservation, park maintenance, and biodiversity protection. Nahuel Huapi National Park is a protected area, and is Argentina’s oldest national park, established in 1934, and protects more than 700,000 hectares of Andean landscapes, including lakes, temperate forests, mountains and steppe ecosystems.

The park is managed by Administración de Parques Nacionales and was created to conserve the region’s unique biodiversity and natural heritage. It is home to native species such as the huemul (Andean deer), pudú, Andean condor, puma and a wide variety of birdlife, as well as important areas of native coihue, lenga and arrayán forests.

Responsible Wildlife Observation
Wildlife encounters in Lake Mascardi and the Iguazú rainforest are guided by local experts who prioritize ethical observation, respect for natural habitats, and minimal disturbance to native species.

People

LOCAL ECONOMY

Small and Locally Owned Accommodations
Throughout this itinerary, we use owner managed small hotels and lodges over large international chains, ensuring tourism revenue benefits local communities. Staying in owner-managed lodges offers a more personal and meaningful way to travel while directly supporting local economies. Independent lodges often employ local teams, source produce and services from nearby suppliers, and invest in the communities that surround them. By choosing these properties, guests help sustain local employment, preserve regional skills and traditions, and contribute to conservation and community initiatives. Beyond providing an authentic and welcoming experience, owner-managed lodges create a stronger connection between travellers and the destinations they visit, ensuring that tourism benefits are shared more widely.

Regional Culture and Gastronomy
Travelers are encouraged to enjoy local cuisine, traditional cafés, neighborhood markets, and local shops, supporting small businesses and local producers. Shopping in local markets and independent shops is a simple way to support the communities visited. By purchasing locally made products, crafts and goods, travellers help create income for small businesses, artisans and producers, while encouraging the preservation of traditional skills and local culture. These purchases keep more money within the destination, helping to strengthen the local economy and ensuring tourism has a positive, lasting impact.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY

Local and Fair Employment Practices
We work primarily with Argentine-based teams and local partners, creating stable employment opportunities across both urban centers and remote regions.

Using suppliers who provide local employment in rural areas helps ensure that tourism creates meaningful benefits for the communities where it takes place. By supporting businesses that hire and train local people, travellers contribute to sustainable livelihoods, skills development and long-term economic opportunities. This approach helps keep income within rural communities while fostering greater local involvement and pride in the services and experiences offered.

B Corp Values in Action
